Vaccination strategy

Who will receive which COVID-19 vaccine, and when? See the comprehensive vaccination strategy of the Dutch government (in Dutch).

When will I be vaccinated?

Vaccination against COVID-19 started in the Netherlands in January. It is not possible to say when you will be able to get the vaccination. The schedule may still change, for example due to delays in vaccine deliveries. The Vaccination Strategy outlines when the first people in the Netherlands will be vaccinated against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, by whom and with which vaccine. This schedule may still change.

• Order of vaccination for people who do not work in healthcare
