Influenza Vaccine Available in the Neighborhood

This group includes adults aged 60 and older, as well as individuals under 60 with chronic illnesses or health conditions that weaken their immune systems.

Adults 60 years and older are eligible to receive the influenza vaccine free of charge and do not need a prescription from their family doctor. Older adults may walk in at our Mobile Neighborhood Vaccination Unit or visit the Infectious Diseases Section, located at Avicenastraat #1 (behind the DVG building), Monday through Friday, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please bring only your AZV card.

Individuals under 60 years old with chronic illnesses or weakened immune systems can also receive the vaccine free of charge, but must present a prescription from their family doctor. With this prescription, they may walk in at the Mobile Unit or the Infectious Diseases Section Monday through Friday, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please bring your doctor’s prescription and AZV card.

For patients with mobility limitations (e.g., those in wheelchairs), DVG offers a drive-through vaccination service. Upon arrival, the relative or caregiver should complete the administrative process, and a nurse from the section will come out to administer the vaccine in the car.

For bedridden patients, please call 522-4200 to register for the home vaccination service. A nurse from the Infectious Diseases Section will call back to schedule an appointment.

Individuals under 60 years old who do not have chronic illnesses but wish to receive the influenza vaccine will be informed during the week when the vaccine becomes available for purchase.
