Delphine van Saxe-Coburg (52) is today vaccinated against the flu in the Saint Pierre hospital in Brussels. The demand for such an injection currently exceeds the supply. A vaccine against the conronavirus is not available yet, so many people hope to at least be able to protect themselves against the flu in these fearful times.

For the time being, only risk groups are entitled to a flu vaccine. These are people over 65, younger people with a chronic condition and pregnant women. Healthcare providers are also among the exceptions. Delphine herself has not asked for such a vaccination, CHU Saint Pierre emphasizes. It is the hospital itself that has asked her to be the figurehead for their campaign.
Princess Delphine wants to show her support for hospital staff and caregivers who are working hard during the corona crisis. It is important that they take care of their own health in the same way as that of their patients, she believes.
