It is understood the surgery was delayed as a precaution and the man, who is under observation at St Andrews Hospital, has shown no side effects.
A 94-year-old woman, who was also administered the incorrect dose, will return home today, Health Minister Greg Hunt said.
The medical mishap has been blamed on a doctor who did not complete the mandatory online vaccine training prior to his first engagement under the Commonwealth rollout with private contractor Healthcare Australia.
