An “over-vaccinated” patient received more than 200 coronavirus injections in less than three years, scientists report.
The man, whose name was not given, is 62 years old German The native of the eastern city of Magdeburg received 217 vaccinations “for special reasons” over a 29-month period, according to the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Academics contacted the patient after reading about him in newspaper reports, and asked if they could study his body's response to multiple stab wounds.
He had “no signs” of being infected with the causative virus Covid-19 No side effects were reported from the vaccine, according to researchers based at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Dr. Kilian Schober, head of the university's Department of Microbiology, said: “We learned about his condition through newspaper articles. Then we contacted him and invited him to undergo tests in Erlangen.”
Dr. Schober added that the patient was “very interested” in doing so.
About 134 official vaccinations have been confirmed, using eight different vaccines.
Dr. Schober said that there were no noticeable side effects despite the “extraordinary over-vaccination,” noting that the drugs have a “good degree of tolerability.”
Researchers also examined previous blood tests as well as blood samples while he was getting more vaccines — including some “at his insistence.”
Dr Schober said: “The individual has undergone various blood tests in recent years and has given us permission to evaluate the results of these tests.
“In some cases, the samples were frozen, and we were able to verify them ourselves.
“We were also able to take blood samples ourselves when the man received further vaccination during the study at his insistence.”
The immune system is “fully functional” despite many vaccines
The samples were used to determine how vaccinations affected the patient's immune system, and the research concluded that it was “fully functional.”
The study found that some immune cells and antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19 were present at much higher levels compared to people who received three vaccines.
“In general, we found no indication of a weaker immune response, on the contrary,” said Katarina Kocher, one of the lead authors of the project.
Dr Schober said: “Until now, it has not been clear what the effects of excessive vaccination like this are on the immune system.
“Some scientists believe that immune cells become less effective after they become accustomed to antigens.
“It has been shown that this is not the case for the individual in question: his immune system is fully functional.”

However, Dr. Schober cautioned that the findings are based on “one individual case” and are “insufficient to draw far-reaching conclusions, let alone recommendations for the general public.”
He added: “Current research suggests that three-dose vaccination, along with regular supplementary vaccinations for vulnerable groups, remains the preferred approach.
“There is no indication that more vaccines are needed.”
