If you are 56 or older, you can still be vaccinated this week without an invitation. That is, if you live in Brussels. Mayor Philippe Close (PS) reports this on Twitter. There are still available places to make an appointment one of the next days.

“These are vaccines from Brussels residents who do not immediately respond to their invitation,” explains Heidi Schmitt of the Joint Community Commission that organizes the vaccination campaign in the Brussels-Capital Region. “We send out invitations and if the available time slots don’t fill up, other people from the same age group can take their places.”
“Now it concerns people over 56, in the coming weeks you will see similar calls for younger people.” Last weekend, the region also launched a call to fill the remaining slots. ‘This allows us to keep our stocks of vaccines to a minimum.’
Willingness to vaccinate is increasing
According to Schmitt, the willingness to vaccinate in Brussels is not significantly lower than in Flanders, at most a few percentage points. That is in contrast to Earlier messages. “Above all, we note that vaccination readiness has already increased by five to ten percent since the beginning of the year.”
Brussels residents aged 56 and older who cannot wait for their injection can make an appointment at the vaccination center of their choice on 02/214 19 19. More information on coronavirus.brussels.
