Second booster vaccination for persons aged 70 and over

The Health Council of the Netherlands has recommended offering a second booster vaccination against COVID-19 to persons aged 70 and over. In addition, the Health Council is of the opinion that nursing home residents, adults with Down syndrome and adults with severe immune disorders also qualify for a second booster vaccination. As per the Health Council’s advisory report submitted to the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport today, other adults do not need a second booster vaccination at this time.
