However, Vandenbroucke did not rule out that this may change in the future. “I do not rule out the possibility that this scientific knowledge will evolve and change. I cannot rule out the possibility that one day we will receive advice stating that you should indeed organize a booster campaign, but that is not the case at the moment.”
However, the Superior Health Council was asked for advice, including on the need for a third injection for the elderly in residential care centres. That advice will be presented on Thursday to the Vaccination Taskforce, which will then make a decision about it immediately or not. Because “we really want to work on the basis of scientific evidence”, Vandenbroucke emphasized.
Flemish Minister of Health Wouter Beke sounds a little more impatient than his federal colleague on Twitter and again tonight insisted on quick advice.
