Four months after the launch of the vaccination campaign, at least 87% of people over 65 in the Netherlands have been vaccinated against COVID-19 at least once.

As of 21 May, RIVM updated the guidelines for the interval between two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. The interval can now be between 6 and 14 weeks.

With the recent easing of the coronavirus measures, social contact and well-being are improving again. Compliance with most measures remains stable for now (such as getting tested by the GGD and avoiding crowds) or is decreasing very gradually.
