Last round of people in their 40s summoned for booster jab

NL Times  

All people in their 40s are now allowed to make an appointment for a booster shot against coronavirus, according to the RIVM. People who are younger than 40 can already make an appointment online, because the age limit has been disabled on the appointment site. Umbrella organization GGD GHOR Nederland has called on people to adhere to the vaccination sequence and to give priority to risk groups, so that they do not have to wait unnecessarily long for a vaccination in the event of a possible autumn wave. The age limit has been removed so that healthcare workers and people who are receiving the flu shot can make an appointment for a repeat shot more easily and quickly.
