As soon as you are booked into a vaccination center, you can already find your invitation on the government website mijnburger Profiel.be. ‘In the meantime, the assignment for the letter goes to the printer, and then to the post,’ says Joris Moonens of the Agency for Care and Health.

It is a date that many eagerly anticipate: the day they receive a first dose of a corona vaccine. To this end, everyone receives an invitation in the mail from the Agency for Care and Health, but it sometimes arrives shortly before the booked time slot. This is annoying for those who have to rely on transport by family or friends. Yet there is a loophole. On mijnburgerprofiel.be residents can see earlier where and when they are expected.
• What will end up in your upper arm? Your questions about the vaccines answered
‘Everyone receives a letter’, emphasizes Joris Moonens of the Agency for Care and Health. ‘But you will find out a little faster on your citizen profile. As soon as the center books you in, you can already find the invitation there. In the meantime, the order for the letter goes to the printer, and then to the post. ‘
People over 80 are currently being vaccinated. The selection is made according to age: descending from top to bottom. The vaccination of all people over 65 can certainly last until the second half of April, according to Moonens. Whoever registers on the citizen profile will find a tab ‘your covid-19 vaccine’ at the top. If you are not yet booked, you will be notified that you will receive the invitation ‘soon’.
Anyone who has provided their e-mail address to the health insurance fund can expect the invitation, not only by post, but also by e-mail.
Not everyone responds to the vaccine in the same way. In the video below, professor of vaccinology Isabel Leroux-Roels explains why.
