Wouter Beck: “95 percent of patients at high risk are as follows …

All high-risk patients were vaccinated by Whit Monday, and that was the goal of the Flemish government. The meter is currently around 55 percent. So the chance of meeting the deadline is slim. But Minister Wouter Beek made a case: “By the end of next week, 95 percent will have been vaccinated.”

Currently, only 55 percent of high-risk patients have been vaccinated. At some vaccination centers, things are running smoothly, including in Ghent, all high-risk patients are assumed to have received their injection on Monday. But it is more difficult in regions such as Dist and Archeot. There they talk about the older population and therefore the patients who are most at risk in percentage terms.

However, the Flemish welfare minister, Water Beek (CD&V), is convinced that things are moving fast. We’ve always said “Pentecost week,” and it’s next week. And I still assume that by the end of next week, up to 95 percent of high-risk patients will be vaccinated. ”Beck admits that the new advice for pregnant women has resulted in more patients at risk.” In addition, some are choosing to delay their vaccination for some reason or To another. “

Beke also notes that high-risk patients who are still waiting for an invitation and are not sure if they are on the list can check it for themselves via “My Health Viewer”.
