Vaccination Task Force: “Everyone receives a booster dose with the onset of spring…

The third shot is coming in ASAP. This is what Prime Minister Alexandre de Croo said on Wednesday during the press conference held after the advisory committee meeting. About 900,000 people have already received a third injection in our country, but the rest of the population will soon follow. Although De Croo was not yet able to pinpoint an exact timing for it. He hopes to have news soon about how and when this third shot will appear in the coming weeks.

According to the Vaccination Task Force, our country could give nearly everyone a booster dose by early spring. According to Chairman Dirk Rammakers, preparations are already well underway. “We were expecting that after the at-risk groups and healthcare staff, everyone would be given a third chance.” There are enough vaccines in stock. The challenge will be to continue to find enough employees. “We depend on support from primary care, but they are very busy at the moment. If this continues, punishment will be a difficult story.”

Ramaekers hope the third shot will provide long-term protection for at least a year. “Then we can switch to classic first-line structures for re-grafting. The scheme for this is ready, but the delta variant prevents that.”
