That’s the question German scientists set out to explore recently, as they examined the case of a man who voluntarily received 217 jabs of the COVID-19 vaccine over the course of 29 months.
The 62-year-old man from Magdeburg, Germany, told doctors he had the large number of vaccines — an average of 7.5 doses per month or a shot every four days — for “private reasons,” researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, who examined him, reported in their study.
While the man definitely exceeded vaccine recommendations, he also became a walking experiment for how the immune system reacts when it is frequently vaccinated against the same pathogen.
This “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, the study published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases found, but it also did not significantly worsen or improve his immune response.
Is there such thing as too many vaccines?
