While the vaccination of residential care centres is currently underway, Belgium is consolidating the locations for nationwide vaccination centres, which according to government information should be ready by March.
From Monday (18 January), the vaccination of hospital staff will start, while doctors and staff of other public health institutions will be vaccinated from February onwards, both through the hospitals itself.
The vaccination centres will become crucial in March when the collective vaccination of people over 65 and over 45 with underlying health conditions will start.
They’re meant to be followed by people with an “essential profession” in April and, if everything goes according to the government’s vaccination strategy, the rest of the population around summer.
