“We target men who have sex with other men, transgender people with different sexual partners and sex workers. By the way, monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease, so we don’t want to stigmatize that group. That is simply the most vulnerable, and therefore also our priority. target group,” said Karima Chouia, head of the vaccination center in Lille, France, earlier this week. “Our Belgian neighbors are certainly welcome.”
This morning many Belgians were standing in line. From Wallonia, even buses are said to have driven towards Lille. But although France has more vaccines in stock and Belgians are also welcome, the number of vaccines in Lille was limited to 400 today. And that was not enough for all those interested in the queue. Shortly after noon, those waiting in line were sent home with no vaccine.
