rather than an obligatory vaccination, Commissioner Facon recommends to the authorities a “corona certificate”
The corona police station does not recommend carrying out compulsory vaccination against Covid-19, according to the note requested Thursday evening from the members of the consultation committee and the Presidency of the House. Pedro Facon and his team argue instead for the establishment of a “crown certificate“, is it written in this document that Belga was able to consult.
The police station believes that instead of being a tool to limit the risk of contamination in the activities of certain environments (the initial Covid Safe Ticket), the corona certificate could have the main objective of contributing to a higher vaccination rate. This rate makes it possible to limit serious cases and reduce hospitalizations, recalls the police station.
