The following 3 vaccination centres will be open

     * Luxembourg-City Forum Campus Geesseknäppchen, 40, bd Pierre Dupong (Merl)
     * Esch-sur-Alzette, Sports Hall Henry Schmitz, 34, Boulevard Hubert Clement (Lallange)
     * Diekirch, Al Seeërei, rue de l'Industrie

These three centres will be open to the general population whether in risk groups or not (adults and children aged 6 months and older) from 12pm  to 8pm.

For the vaccination campaign beyond this period, nothing has currently been announced.

What happens when I go to one of these centres and how does it work?

It’s very simple, but there are a few steps you are taken through before to actually receive your free vaccination.

·    When you arrive at the reception area you will be given vaccination information: practical guide, information about Pandemrix (the drug itself) and the “Halte a la Grippe A” information leaflet.

·    Next step is to register and for this you’ll need ID and your Luxembourg social security card/number.

·    Once you’ve done the last step you’ll be given a form called “Fiche de vaccination A (H1N1)” to complete  that asks you a series of questions.  A copy of the form and how to complete it is below.

·    With the form, you can then go and receive your vaccination.  A doctor or nurse checks the details on the form to verify that you are eligible for vaccination and signs it before giving you your injection.

·    On your way out you must leave the form, but you should be given a copy
