Dutch hospitals to begin giving Covid vaccines to "young, healthy people"

NL Times  

Sixty hospitals in the Netherlands will be set up to become Covid-19 vaccination sites by the end of May. They will be tasked primarily with vaccinating "young, healthy people" as part of a push to increase the rate in which people are inoculated against the coronavirus disease, a spokesperson for acute care network LNAZ confirmed to Nieuwsuur. The goal is for hospitals to vaccinate up to a million people per week by the end of June. Health Minister Hugo de Jonge previously said that 1.5 million people would receive vaccinations weekly in the Netherlands beginning in May, with a goal of increasing that to 2.5 million weekly by the end of June. Municipal health service GGD also said on Wednesday it was also scaling up its operations to be able to vaccinate a million people per week by the end of May.
