“No scientific basis for a 3rd dose for all”

Dirk Ramaekers, the head of the Vaccination Taskforce, does not see on what basis the Flemish Region is relying to impose a 3rd dose of vaccine in Flanders.

At this point there is no scientific proof what’immunity decreases in the young and healthy population, said on Saturday Dirk Ramaekers, the head of the Vaccination Taskforce, in response to the Flemish government’s announcement to offer anyone over 12 a third dose of anti-Covid vaccine. Before Flanders can concretely implement this decision, it must wait for the opinion of the Higher Health Council.

“We are monitoring the situation around the world, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, because they are two months ahead of us.”

In a reaction, Dirk Ramaekers said that the Immunization Working Group, like the Higher Health Council with which there is intensive cooperation, works in the most scientific way possible. “We are monitoring the situation in the world, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, because they are two months ahead of us (the vaccination campaign started there earlier, note). Since the summer, we also take into account the fact that the general population could potentially receive a third injection, but on the basis of scientific arguments. So I would like to know about what scientific justification is relying on the Flemish government to already announce this third injection “, he continues.

Ethical argument

more, Mr. Ramaekers highlights an ethical element. “The top priority now is to give vaccines to countries where vaccination operations are less advanced. We have already given approximately three million doses of COVAX and there will be more. ”
Finally, he stresses that the administration of a third dose is not an ad hoc solution to stop the rising curve of the pandemic in Flanders. “Why not consider simple measures that have already proven their worth, such as the mouth mask and the Covid Safe Ticket”?
