The vaccination campaign was divided into different phases:
The graphic below gathers data from all persons who received a vaccine. By 31 October 2022, 79% of the total Belgian population had been given a basic vaccination. In addition, 62% had also been given a first booster vaccine, 31% a second booster vaccine and 4% an autumn booster.
PERCENTAGE OF VACCINATED PERSONS BY TYPE OF VACCINATION[1]
Below, we compare the percentage of vaccinated persons aged 18 years and older and the percentage of vaccinated healthcare workers by 31/10/2022. Here, we observe that the percentage of persons who received a complete baseline vaccination is similar. However, we notice a greater variation in the percentage of individuals who obtained a first and second booster. We see that a larger percentage of caregivers obtained a booster. Since the autumn booster, however, we see the first time that the general population was more likely to obtain the booster than caregivers, but this figure may still rise.
