Flanders will begin its annual fall vaccination campaign against COVID-19 on September 30, 2024. The influenza vaccination campaign will commence two weeks earlier, starting September 16, 2024. Health officials are emphasizing the continued effectiveness of traditional vaccines and prioritizing ease of access for citizens.
The current vaccination procedures are well-established and encourage participation. Authorities recognize that adding extra steps to the process can deter individuals from getting vaccinated. Thus, the focus remains on the simplicity of obtaining vaccines through pharmacies.
For those seeking a more potent vaccine, options are available, but the standard pharmacy route remains the fastest and most feasible option. The emphasis on pharmacy access aims to streamline the process and maximize vaccination rates.
