Scientists are studying a “hypervaccinated” man who has reportedly received a record 217 Covid-19 jabs.
The man had dozens of vaccines “for private reasons” over a period of 29 months, according to a study published in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
The 62-year-old, from Magdeburg, Germany, had “no signs” of ever being infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 and had not reported any vaccine-related side-effects, the researchers from University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said.
Academics heard about the man in a newspaper report and asked if they could study his body’s response to the multiple jabs.
“We learned about his case via newspaper articles,” Dr Kilian Schober said.
“We then contacted him and invited him to undergo various tests in Erlangen. He was very interested in doing so.”
There is official confirmation for 134 of these vaccinations – including eight different vaccines, the team said.
“The observation that no noticeable side-effects were triggered in spite of this extraordinary hypervaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability,” Dr Schober added.
