What is the procedure for your vaccination?

The vaccination takes place in 5 steps:

1. At the entrance, you disinfect your hands and we measure your temperature.
    
2. A desk employee will register you on the basis of your identity card and your invitation.  We will refer you to one of the 4 vaccination zones, the yellow, the green, the red or the blue zone.  You simply have to follow the coloured lines painted on the floor to the right zone.
    
3. You can then take place in the waiting area. You will see when it’s your turn on the screen above the waiting area.
    
4. When it’s your turn, you can enter the vaccination cubicle.  You will be asked to answer a few medical questions:
    
   • Do you have flu-like symptoms or one of the following symptoms at the moment: cough, shortness of breath, fever, sore muscles, fatigue, loss of smell and taste, blocked nose, sore throat, diarrhea?
   • Have you ever had an immediate or serious reaction after a vaccination? 
   • Have you ever needed urgent medical  care after taking medication?  
   • Do you have asthma?  Do you suffer from it a lot in spite of your treatment? 

   Then you will be given the vaccine and your vaccination will be registered.
    

5. You can then take place in a 2nd waiting area.  Someone will help you if you have any side effects.  If you feel OK, you can go home after fifteen minutes.

Thuisvaccinatie

• Wie echt niet in het vaccinatiecentrum geraakt, kan thuis gevaccineerd worden. Dat kan alleen door gezondheidsproblemen.
• Contacteer je huisarts. Die beoordeelt of jij thuis gevaccineerd moet worden en organiseert dat in overleg met jou.
