15/10/2009Swine flu: Belgians protest against the new vaccination

Members of a citizens’ initiative opposed to the new A/H1N1 vaccine have taken the Belgian state to court.

The group opposes the new vaccine, which is free and will be undertaken voluntarily, taking issue with the seemingly experimental nature of the vaccination programme. 

They have also cited the lack of information on behalf of health authorities of risks incurred for those who are vaccinated, saying that the Belgian state should consider every human’s absolute and fundamental right for physical well-being. 

They are also contesting the registration procedure for patients who chose to be vaccinated.
