The Flemish Health and Care Agency has sent numerous invitations to be vaccinated. After those over 65, those aged 18-64 are invited to receive a dose of the vaccine. Only, the invitation contains an error.
The mail, where no date or time is offered for an appointment, contains an error in the introductory sentence. “In this version of the letter, the introduction mistakenly includes a sentence saying that the vaccine is “recommended”, explained the agency to The morning.
However, the injection of the vaccine is well defined as a “non-binding offer” for adults between 18 and 64 years old. It is recommended only for certain circumstances such as pregnant women or for health problems.
This error comes from the copy of the letter sent to the over 65s. “The error was immediately rectified as soon as it was identified. Thus, in all invitation letters now sent to 18-64 year olds, the sentence concerning the recommendation has been deleted.”
