We see the latter happening in the US, for example, and people could also be vaccinated on a large scale in Great Britain. In the US, anyone over the age of 16 can now book an appointment, no restrictions.
Not enough vaccine
This is not the case with us. The reason: not enough vaccines, and because older people are more at risk of a more serious disease course, they are the first to act. “It depends on how much vaccine we have,” says Charlotte Menten of the RIVM.

In this way we are steadily finishing the calendar. “We do swipe actions,” says Menten. This means that larger groups that could have already had an appointment are again urged to do so. For example, the ministry now calls on all people over 65 who have not yet made an appointment to do so.
Pricks per year of birth
But after that it goes – for the time being – on year of birth. Whether that will change in the coming weeks and months is unclear. But if it stays like this now, then if you were born in 1987, for example, it will be your turn earlier than that 1988 friend.

Finally, according to that schedule, it would be the turn of the people from 2003. But it is not expected that the turn of that group will be much later than the 30s or 40s. According to the schedule that has now been published, it will be all people’s turn between 1982 and 2003 from the end of June.
When is it my turn?
In the overview below you can see approximately when it is your turn, and which vaccine you may receive:
