As part of the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination week (Impfwoch), Luxembourg's Ministry of Health is organising an information day (IMPF'O'DAY) this Saturday 11 December 2021 at the Athénée de Luxembourg in Luxembourg-Hollerich.
IMPF'O'DAY consists of two conference-debates, taking place in person and remotely (online), which will bring together various health experts to debate the topic of vaccination against COVID-19 and answer questions from the public.
Participation in these conferences is free of charge.
Luxembourg's Minister of Health, Paulette Lenert, will open both conferences.

The introductory speeches will be in Luxembourgish, but the experts will answer questions from the public in five languages (French, German, Luxembourgish, English and Portuguese).

Visiting these booths is possible without CovidCheck, but visitors must respect the sanitary rules in force, i.e. wearing a mask and keeping a minimum physical distance of two metres.
