The vaccination village is situated inside a low emissions zone (LEZ). If your vehicle is not permitted and you enter the Spoor Oost site, you will not receive an LEZ fine. Even when parking in a different location within the LEZ, you are exempt from getting fined. That exemption only applies on the day that you visit the testing and vaccination village.
Did you receive a ticket on the day of your vaccination after all? This may happen under exceptional circumstances, for instance if there was an error reading your car registration number. In that case, send a copy of your invite to LEZ@Antwerp.be as soon as possible. The date of the vaccination, your name and address have to be clearly legible. Then, the city will cancel your fine for the day of the vaccination. So, make sure to keep the invite for the vaccination in a safe place.
You can find more information about the LEZ and exemption for vehicles attending the vaccination village in the LEZ FAQ.

If you do not have any available assistance for going to the vaccination village, you can go to one of the 36 temporary vaccination sites in the region. From April, there will be vaccinations on a number of days at each of these locations.To book an appointment for these sites, you need to book via the local corona helpline, or your GP will refer you.
First, they will examine if there are any available adapted transport solutions for getting to Spoor Oost. That way you do not have to wait until you can be vaccinated at a centre in your neighbourhood.

Those who really cannot leave the house for medical reasons, would do best to contact their GP.The GP can decide to potentially vaccinate at home and, in that case, will inform you about the timing and procedure.
