title: [General practitioners and vaccination coverage of the population].
abstract: Adults have insufficient vaccination coverage in Belgium today. It is up to the general practitioner, who is a key player in the Belgian health system, to ensure that this coverage is improved. The most efficient measures are: systematic patient notification, population and practitioner instruction, reduced cost for the patient, improved access to vaccination services and vaccination reminders to practitioners. These measures will be made easier by the development of the Global Medical Record and the Computerised Medical Record.
