Repeat covid vaccinations opened to all as postive tests mount

Dutch News  

Everyone over the age of 12 is now being invited to sign up for another coronavirus vaccination, the health ministry has confirmed. With covid infections once again on the rise, health officials say getting the top-up jabs will help slow the spread of the virus. People aged 40 to 60 can make an appointment via website planjeprik.nl next week, while the rest of the over-12s will be able to do so later this month, the ministry said. For now, health minister Ernst Kuipers says no further measures against Covid need to be taken, although he says he welcomes any that individual companies or organisations put in place. But he noted that the ‘vaccination programme helps a lot, it prevents infections, it prevents getting seriously ill and it probably also prevents long-term complaints after infection.’ Earlier this week, a report by the safety council concluded that the initial Dutch vaccination programme against Covid-19 was held back because the government’s initial response was poorly planned, being too reliant on family doctors.
