Report 39: Motivation, well-being and vaccination attitudes in Omikron times
Published on 19 January 2022 We have entered a new phase of the pandemic: the omicron variant is making a widespread breakthrough, the number of daily infections is rising to unprecedented levels, the testing strategy used so far is no longer tenable and the quarantine rules in schools have been adjusted several times.

Report 38: Omicron, childhood vaccination and end-of-year celebrations: what do we think?
Published on 21 December 2021 For the second time, we celebrate the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and, more than ever, the evolution of the epidemiological situation is unpredictable. The fourth wave is subsiding, but the number of hospital admissions is still high. It took three consecutive consultation committees which were met with much scepticism from both the media and the public.
Report 37: There is still support for the measures, but no longer for the corona policy
Published on 8 December 2021 During a rather carefree summer, we could once again taste freedom: vaccinations went like clockwork, the Covid Safe Ticket was introduced - the name alone gave hope - and even the mouth masks disappeared from the streets. We could still expect an increase in infections in the autumn, but that would ... Read More

Report 34: Is there still motivational support for the measures in various regions?
Published on 9 September 2021 Last weekend, several Flemish politicians stated that the support base for the corona measures has completely evaporated. The public would no longer be prepared to follow the remaining health measures. Is this true? While the vaccination campaign is going well in Flanders and Wallonia, Brussels is lagging behind: the risk of infection and illness is higher there. What influence does the ... Read More
Report 33: Motivation for the measures and attitudes towards the Covid-Safe Ticket and mandatory vaccination.
Published on 14 July 2021 The Belgian vaccination campaign is going very well, although there are regional differences. In this context, the question arises as to how we deal with all kinds of behavioural measures. Are we still motivated to follow them? Do we want to abandon some or all of these measures completely or do we prefer to remain cautious? Another tricky issue is how to ... Read More
Report 32: Requiring healthcare workers to vaccinate: a good idea?
Published on 14 July 2021 Now that health professionals in a number of other European countries are being obliged to vaccinate, the debate is once again being reopened in Belgium.
