The Reality of Covid Vaccination: Who is Eligible and Where to Get Vaccinated

2023-11-09 05:00:00

Philippe went to the Liège vaccination center a few days ago. He was refused vaccination against covid because he is under 65 years old and in good health. He was told he can only receive the vaccine if he has a note from his doctor. Philippe thought that vaccination was open to everyone. What is it really?

Vaccination against covid is not really open to everyone. Responsibility lies with the center’s coordinating doctor. He is the one who judges the situation.

If you are under 65 years old, in good health, and not part of a priority group, the doctor may tell you to wait and consult your treating physician, who is ultimately the one who knows you best. better.

The doctor will then give his instructions. And if necessary, a vaccination prescription if he considers that it is recommended for you.

So, when is this vaccination recommended?

– For people over 65 years old.
– For nursing home residents.
– For pregnant women.
– For immunocompromised people.
– For workers in the health sector.

But also, for people aged 50 to 65 who have excessive alcohol consumption, or a history of smoking.

For all these people, vaccination against covid is particularly recommended.

For this fall campaign, no invitations will be sent to your mailbox. You go there with or without an appointment.

Where to get vaccinated?

There are 5 centers: Charleroi, Tournai, Liège, Verviers and Braine-l’Alleud.
And three branches: Ecaussinnes, Mouscron and Liège.

Vaccination can also be done at your general practitioner and at participating pharmacies.
