 85-yr-old Bihar man boasts of 11 jabs, caught at 12th shot

Madhepura: In a ‘boaster dose’ India’s Covid vaccination campaign could have done without, a vaccine-obsessed 84year-old man from Bihar’s Madhepura claims to have been jabbed 11times at different centres — on nine occasions,  using the same Aadhaar and mobile number— before his shot at a 12th dose misfired.

Brahmdeo Mandal, a resident of Orai village in Puraini, was stopped on Tuesday just after he walked into yet another vaccination site in Madhepura on the premise that each extra dose was not only protecting him from Covid but also “curing me of my many ailments”.

As embarrassed health officials searched for explanations, civil surgeon A N Shahi said an inquiry had been ordered to fix responsibility for Brahmdeo getting past the data firewall nine times with a single Aadhaar card and mobile number.

Brahmdeo produced a diary containing details of where he got his shots and on which dates. He apparently got jabbed first at Puraini PHC on February 13, followed by a legal second dose at the same centre on March 13.
