Coronavirus: Man in Germany gets some 90 vaccine shots to sell forged passes
- After months of receiving shots at various vaccine centres, he was caught at Eilenburg in Saxony, where he showed up for a jab for the second day in a row
- It was not immediately clear what kind of impact the around 90 shots of vaccines, which were from different brands, had on the man’s health
The resident of the city of Magdeburg, whose name was not released in line with German privacy rules, was said to have received up to 90 shots at Covid-19 vaccination centres in the eastern state of Saxony for months until police caught him earlier this month.
The suspect was not detained but is under investigation for unauthorised issuance of vaccination cards and document forgery.
He was caught at a vaccination centre in Eilenburg in Saxony, where he showed up for a Covid-19 shot for the second day in a row. Police confiscated several blank vaccination cards from him and initiated criminal proceedings.
It was not immediately clear what kind of impact the around 90 shots of Covid-19 vaccines, which were from different brands, had on the man’s personal health.
German police have conducted many raids in connection with forgery of vaccination passports in recent months.
Many Covid-19 deniers refuse to get vaccinated in Germany, but at the same want to have the coveted Covid-19 passports that make access to public life and many venues such as restaurants, theatres, swimming pools or work places much easier.
