8 out of 10 Dutch people vaccinated
More than 83 percent of the population aged 12 years and older has had at least one vaccination, according to figures from the RIVM. Almost 80 percent of the Dutch population is fully vaccinated.
There are still considerable differences between different regions. In Urk, for example, only 26 percent of the inhabitants are fully vaccinated. In Staphorst, Neder-Betuwe and Reimerswaal, the vaccination rate is between 50 and 60 percent. The map below shows how your municipality is doing.
