Doctors' assistants want to help with Covid vaccinations but GGD won't call back

Thousands of doctors' assistants who indicated they wanted to help with the Covid-19 vaccination campaign have not received a response from municipal health service GGD. Despite the GGD needing six thousand more people to help carry out the national vaccination process, assistants are rarely called to help because the health service prefers to hire people through temporary employment agencies, Parool reported. According to GGD West-Brabant chair Annemieke van der Zijden many of the GGDs preferred to hire people through temporary employment to ensure they would not need to pay employment benefits in the future. At the same time, RIVM vaccination program leader Jaap van Delden said he was happy with the current progress of the vaccination campaign.
