Booster vaccination invitations for care workers Hospitals are already working hard to vaccinate their own care workers.
People born in 1939 or before invited for COVID-19 booster vaccination As of today, people born in 1939 or before can schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 booster vaccination with the Municipal Public Health Services (GGDs).
Invitation for booster vaccination sent to people over 80 The first invitations to make an appointment for a COVID-19 booster vaccination will be received from 18 November on. The invitation is for people aged 80 years and older.
Unvaccinated COVID-19 patients in hospital nearly 20 years younger than vaccinated patients The chance that a fully vaccinated person with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 will be admitted to hospital is 17 times lower than for a non-vaccinated person. The chance of ICU admission for a fully vaccinated person is 33 times lower.
Vaccines very effective against hospital and ICU admissions, also for Delta variant COVID-19 vaccines work well in preventing people from being admitted to hospital or ICU for COVID-19, according to a new analysis by RIVM.
COVID-19 vaccination reduces transmission Vaccination against COVID-19 reduces the transmission of the virus from one person to another. This is apparent from RIVM research using data from source and contact tracing by the Municipal Public Health Services (GGDs).
Nearly 85% of people aged 18 and over have had at least one vaccination The RIVM vaccination update this week has been expanded to include three maps of the Netherlands. For the first time, it is now possible to see vaccination turnout by municipality for everyone aged 18 years and over.
Corrected vaccination figures: total number of jabs adjusted downward The number of estimated vaccinations is now nearly 5.2 million. Due to a programming error, an overestimation occurred in the vaccination figures. As a result, 220,000 excess vaccinations were reported on 13 April.
People born in 1961 invited for COVID-19 vaccination The first people born in 1961 will be receiving an invitation for a COVID-19 vaccination this Thursday. This group involves people who will be turning 60 this year.
