Women aged 50 to 75 years on Bonaire can participate in the breast cancer screening programme again as of Wednesday, May 26, 2021. This was temporarily halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RIVM is launching an extensive study today to research the long-term effectiveness of the various COVID-19 vaccines in the Netherlands.

For the first time in five years, the number of children receiving vaccinations from the National Immunisation Programme has increased slightly.

Nearly all infants in the Netherlands are still participating in the National Immunisation Programme.
