"We take this incident very seriously," assured Astrid Koornneef, who is responsible for the national vaccination program of the Ministry of Health in New Zealand. The little information from the Ministry of Health shows that the man is said to have visited several vaccination centers to pick up a Biontech vaccination. To make matters worse, the suspect reportedly not only accepted the vaccination for other identities, but was also paid for his actions.
“This situation worries us very much and we are currently working with all the necessary authorities. If you know someone who has received more than the recommended vaccination dose, they should seek urgent medical help, ”Koornneef said. Nikki Turner, who is in charge of the Immunization Advisory Center at Auckland University, shares this opinion. “The Comirnatiy vaccine (official name of the Biontech compound) was developed after early clinical studies focused on good immune system response and generally stable health. We don't know anything about the possible side effects of a higher vaccination dose. "

We don't want to put any resistance in their way with the vaccination. "
According to the New Zealand Ministry of Health, around 75 percent of the population have been vaccinated twice against the coronavirus (to).
