Belgium (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): The campaign encourages vaccination for vulnerable groups, including those over 65 and healthcare workers, to improve community health and reduce disease spread. Vaccines are free in Flanders and Walloon pharmacies, starting September 23.
The campaign is required to help people more likely to get sick. They want to ensure that older people and those with long-term health problems receive the support they need. By looking out for these groups, the campaign needs to make everyone healthier and lessen the impact of sickness in the community.
Who Should Get Vaccinated According to Health Council?
The High Health Council strongly advises getting vaccinated, especially for people over 65, those in care homes, individuals with health issues, and healthcare workers. These groups are crucial because they are more likely to get seriously ill and are significant in providing healthcare. Getting lots of people vaccinated is very important. It helps keep everyone safe by stopping diseases from spreading and making sure everyone has protection against them. People can get the vaccines for free from doctors, pharmacies, or nurses who come to your home. Flanders started giving vaccines on 23 September, and vaccines have been in Walloon pharmacies for a while now, as AViQ mentioned.
