Flu vaccine: 840,000 more doses available for the 2021-2022 flu season

Er zijn voor het nieuwe griepseizoen 3,78 miljoen griepvaccins beschikbaar. Dat is een kwart meer dan vorig jaar. Door die grotere beschikbaarheid is er dit jaar geen fasering voor de aflevering. Dat wil zeggen dat iedereen die dat wenst zich vanaf 15 oktober 2021 kan laten vaccineren.

3,78 millions de vaccins contre la grippe sont disponibles pour la prochaine campagne de vaccination, soit un quart de plus que l'année dernière. Cette disponibilité accrue permet l'abandon de la délivrance en phases. Cela signifie que quiconque le souhaite pourra se faire vacciner d'emblée dès le 15 octobre 2021.
