National immunisation coverage has increased for the first time in five years, for almost all vaccinations. For children born in 2017, vaccination coverage against mumps, measles and rubella (MMR) increased by 0.7% to 93.6%.

This spring, about 860,000 young people in the Netherlands will receive an invitation for a vaccination against meningococcal disease.

Young people (13-18 years) who use light-emitting screens daily in the hour before going to sleep have more sleep problems.
