Corona vaccination

Can I get the corona vaccination?

The corona vaccination is available for:

• People aged 60 and over
• People between the age of 18 and 59 who receive an annual invitation to have the flu vaccine
• Adults and children in medical at-risk groups (such as people with severe immune disorders)
• Care workers who are directly in contact with vulnerable patients
• The COVID-19 vaccine is also available to certain individuals outside of that target group, such as people who have a vulnerable family member or people getting a COVID-19 vaccine on the advice of their attending physician.

Invitation letter or appointment

• If you are 60 years or older, you will receive an invitation letter from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) from 27 August.
• If you are between the ages of 18 to 59 and receive an invitation to get the flu vaccine each year, or if you work in healthcare, you will not receive an invitation letter. Instead, you will be able to set up an appointment with the Municipal Public Health Service (GGD) through: planjeprik.nl or by phoning 0800 7070 during office hours.

The COVID-19 vaccine will be made available at the GGD until 6 December 2024.
