Annually, RIVM publishes an overview of surveillance data and scientific developments of the 13 infectious diseases against which the Dutch National Immunisation Programme (RVP in Dutch) vaccinates. The report on Surveillance and Developments also contains information about infectious diseases that are not (yet) included in the National Immunisation Programme, but for which a vaccine is available, such as chickenpox and shingles.
According to the 2025 annual report on ‘Vaccination Coverage of the Dutch National Immunisation Programme' the percentage of babies and toddlers that were vaccinated in the framework of the National Immunisation Programme appears to have decreased slightly compared to the previous year. During the same period, there was a clear increase in vaccination coverage for the HPV vaccination, which children receive around the age of 10 years. The increase was higher among boys than among girls. In addition, there was a slight increase in vaccination against whooping cough (pertussis) and flu during pregnancy.
