JAKARTA - A resident from Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi, admitted that he had been vaccinated against COVID-19 17 times and had not shown any health problems. Far from Indonesia, there are also people who look like Pinrang residents.

This man is from India and is 84 years old. Police arrested him because he was caught having received 11 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, as reported by The Independent, Thursday, January 7.

Police managed to arrest Brahmadeo Mandal, a resident of eastern Bihar state from a primary health center before he could get his 12th dose. He managed to get it all using a different ID card and a relative's cell phone number.

“The government has done an extraordinary thing,” said Mandal, explaining his desire to over-vaccinate.

The Indian government mandates two injections for citizens, with booster injections allowed for health workers and seniors over 60 who have comorbidities from January 10.

Mandal got his injections in March, May, June, July, and August respectively after that. He then went on to get three shots in September alone using his three different ID cards.

These include voter ID cards and Aadhaar cards, identity cards that provide a unique 12-digit identification number for each citizen.

Mandal claims that by the end of 2021, he had received 11 vaccine shots. He added that he felt better after the injection.

District officials in the area have ordered an investigation into the matter. An investigation will discover how Mandal managed to get so many stabs.
