The increasing number of infections with the Coronavirus combined with rapidly increasing other viral infections since the lifting of the 1.5 m rule and an expected flu epidemic is causing extreme pressure in the general practice. In order to continue to provide care, we are forced to take measures. As in the previous crisis, we count on your understanding:
FLU VACCINATION 2021
This year there is a very high interest in the flu vaccine. We are often called by people who have no indication for the flu shot. The vaccine is not freely available. After the vaccination of the target group, we will offer any surplus vaccines to interested parties.
The vaccination will take place in the week of November 15, every day between 4-7 pm at the Westerdok and Silodam locations. Those who belong to the target group will soon receive an email where and on what day they are expected. Pay attention! Due to safety and planning, there is no possibility to change the day and location!
PNEUCOCOC VACCINATION 2021
The people who will receive the pneumococcal vaccine will get it a week after the flu vaccination. This group will receive a separate mailing about this.
BOOSTER PICK CORONA
At the moment we have no information about the third Corona vaccination. Most likely, the general practitioners are not involved in the vaccination. You can find more information about the possible third corona jab at the GGD or the RIVM.
The Westerdokters team of doctors will do its utmost to support you as best as possible in the coming period. This requires your cooperation. Together we can keep things workable for everyone in the coming months.
Our webapplication is not available due to the flooding in Limburg. The functions: call back and chat work as usual. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Doctor Ilic will be absent for the next few weeks due to private circumstances. We expect him back to Westerdok in early July. Daily patient care continues normally.
On April 20, the Government decided that people with a medical indication born between 1961 and 2003 should be vaccinated with priority at the GGD. These are the people who are also invited annually for the flu shot.
When will all people with a medical indication be invited?
It concerns more than a million people. They cannot all make an appointment at the same time. That is why they are invited in phases. People from this target group will receive an invitation by mail between 4 and 20 May.
When will people aged 50-59 (birth years 1961-1970) without a medical indication be invited?
In principle, it is the turn of the 50-59-year-olds without a medical indication shortly after vaccination of the medical risk group. They will be invited by the RIVM for vaccination at the GGD. It is possible that one or more age years will be invited at the same time as this target group.
Despite the commotion around the Astra Zeneca vaccine, we have been able to vaccinate around 90 percent of people between 60-65 at Westerdokters. This means that we no longer vaccinate at Westerdokters and no longer have reserve lists. At the moment, the delivery of the second vaccine is still unclear (probably end of June / beginning of July).
Vaccination for people under 60 years of age wil take place at GGD. For further information see next item.
07-04-2021 8.30 We are currently experiencing a technical problem with online services. We expect it to be over in the afternoon.
On Thursday, April 8, at the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, we will start the vaccination against Corona for people between 60-65 years old. All people who may receive the vaccine have received an invitation by email.
In connection with the vaccination, the practice on Thursday, April 8, is in principle only available for emergencies. We will be fully available for you again from Monday 12 April.
