Vaccination with AstraZeneca vaccine temporarily on hold

by

The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) has decided to temporarily stop vaccinating with the COVID-19 vaccine made by AstraZeneca, effective immediately. This decision was reached following the advice of the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board (CBG-MEB) to temporarily suspend administration of the vaccine, as a precaution and pending further research. As a precautionary measure, it has been decided not to vaccinate with AstraZeneca for the next two weeks (until Sunday 28 March).

COVID-19 vaccination

When will the vaccine come?

We receive many questions about the COVID-19 vaccination. At the time of writing this newsletter, much is still unclear. For the most up-to-date information, please visit www.coronavaccinatie.nl.

The first group to receive the Astra Zeneca vaccine through their GP are the following people:

1. All persons born in 1956 and 1957
2. People living at home with Down’s syndrome born between 1-1-1956 up to and including 31-12-2002.
3. People with morbid obesity (BMI> 40) born in the period from 1-1-1956 to 31-12-2002.

We do not expect to receive the vaccines before the second half of March. We have already contacted most of the above group by telephone to ask if they would like to receive the vaccine. If you think that you belong to the group and have not received a call, please contact the practice as soon as possible.

We will contact the people who receive the vaccine by telephone to schedule an appointment. During the call we will explain the procedure for the vaccination. Pay attention! Due to a tight schedule, it will not be possible to choose a date or time!
