On rare occasions, a patient may have had multiple first or second vaccination events recorded. These are likely due to either duplicates or errors in the data recorded by the organisation(s) administering the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination(s) or if a patient has missed the second dose within the specified time-period and had to start with the first dose again. The order of the dose(s) is determined by date and time, with the oldest first. Any associated adverse reaction(s) will accompany the vaccination event information.
