Protesters decried compulsory vaccination as “discriminatory”, “unproductive” and with placards that read “we need more commonsense” and “let’s save our health system instead of firing staff.”

“Everyone has the right of choice, but the threats to dismissal hanging over staff members are unacceptable.We are already short of staff.Raphael Meys, a hospital employee from the province of Liege, stated that if we lay off, it would be a disaster, and people will be less motivated to enter this field.”

The federal government passed a bill requiring healthcare workers to be vaccinated on November 19.

Starting January 1, nurses will have three months to be vaccinated.

Staff may be fired if they fail to comply with the new vaccination obligation.

The organizers of the protest (the union front) met with Franck Vandenbroucke the chief of staff at the Minister of Health.

Another meeting is also scheduled for next week.
