The low turnout means there are opportunities to vaccinate people at a later date, but it remains to be seen where and when exactly that will be possible, says Crevits.
This summer, LGBT movements expressed reservations about the low number of monkeypox vaccines available in our country. “A European distribution key has been created for vaccines and the numbers for our country have been determined by the federal government. We have received 1,120 vaccines in Flanders and we want to use them as efficiently as possible. I will only be a happy minister if there are as many. number of vaccines possible “, concludes Crevits.
In recent weeks, many Belgians have crossed the border to get vaccinated in France. More vaccines are available there, and the conditions are much more flexible.
In Flanders, 394 people have been infected with the monkeypox virus since the outbreak began.
