For many, the coronavirus seems to be a thing of the past, but invitations to a new round of vaccination have been issued starting today. Who will receive this invitation? When will it be received? Why did you receive an invitation?
The national government wrote on its website that this fall, every person 12 years and older will receive invitations for repeated injections. The first letter will be delivered today and starting next Monday (September 19), people can make an appointment to inject it at GGD.
RIVM reports that health care workers who come into contact with patients are invited by their employers. “GPs will send invitations to people under the age of 60 from early October, who are at an increased risk of suffering from severe Covid-19.” RIVM reports that groups aged 12 to 59 who are not at risk of medical attention will not receive invitations. This group was allowed to receive injections, but after the elderly and high-risk groups. "This information will be spread through media and other channels."
First invite these people:
- Medical staff who have contact with patients
- people with a higher risk of illness, that is:
- people over 160 html l9
- People aged 12 to 59 who are invited to get influenza vaccination every year
- Workers at medical institutions
- People with Down syndrome
Some of them have been vaccinated four times and they can go to GGD for repeated injections again. Gorben Pijlman, a virologist at Wageningen University, also advises people to inject it. "Injections in autumn can better protect people from infection and severe symptoms within a few months," the government wrote on its website that after high-risk groups, "as a preventive measure, every person over 12 years of age can be re-injected." "A sufficiently updated vaccine is being provided to provide repeat injections for everyone over the age of 12."

Repeated injections have two conditions: the last vaccination must be three months ago and the "basic series" must be vaccinated (two shots from BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax or one shot from Janssen). People who do not meet this condition may not be given repeated injections. Vaccines are all from BioNTech/Pfizer or Moderna. They have been modified so that in addition to the early Coronavirus variants, they can also prevent the omikron variant.
The government recommends that people who have received the previous shot of the vaccine less than three months, or who have recovered from the last infection for less than three months, should not be given the shot for the time being.
