Count me in! When it’s my turn, I’m getting vaccinated! Goodbye Covid ‘, as can be read on the Facebook profile photo of Ekkelenkamp, chairman of the Board of Directors at the medical cooperative Medicamus in the Northwest Veluwe region.
Shift focus
He notices among healthcare staff that the willingness to vaccinate is still too low. “I want to help change that. We can always pay attention to the people who tell them why they do not want to get vaccinated, but I want to focus on those who do. Those people need to get a face. “

That’s why he changed his profile picture himself last night. “I stole the idea from a friend in France. I saw it on his Facebook and thought: holy shit, I should do that too. The best way to convince others is to show that you are participating. The more GPs , mayors and ministers participate, the more people will join. I also call on Hugo de Jonge and Mark Rutte to participate. “
Paradox
He finds it remarkable that more and more people say they do not want to be vaccinated. “There is a crazy paradox. The whole world is developing a vaccine to get out of the Covid crisis. But the closer we get to the date when we can get vaccinated, the more people will give up. “

“If people want to wear face masks for longer, they should not vaccinate themselves. But if you want to get rid of that face mask? Then vaccination is the only solution,” says Ekkelenkamp, who himself has full confidence in the vaccine. “America has already started. We are not going to look at them for years before we dare to start ourselves?”
His purpose may be clear. “I want everyone to be impatient to get vaccinated. We all have to make sure that we can really celebrate Christmas next year.”
