The vaccination rate of healthcare staff must therefore be increased. “If we focus on informing and raising awareness, it will be a success.” This was also apparent in the Sint-Andries hospital in Tielt, says Sammyn. “We are coming from a vaccination rate below 50% and for the last 3 years we have a golden flu certificate, meaning we have a vaccination rate above 80%. That is only due to raising awareness.”
12 West Flemish hospitals are now also joining forces. They hope to convince as many hospital staff as possible with a playful campaign. On the tones of “Te min voor Anja” by Spring, it now sounds “Vaccine for Anja”, in West Flemish, sung by the music band StatieHeld. The images for the video clip were shot in all 12 participating hospitals.
