Invitation Dutch National Immunisation Program

The Netherlands have an extensive National Immunisation Programme to protect children against infectious diseases. The programme includes vaccination against 12 potentially fatal infectious diseases. The GGD carries out these vaccinations. The first injection is given when a child is 2 months old. The last injection takes place when your child is 13/14 years old. Parents do not have to pay for these vaccinations.

You have received an invitation for vaccination at a local vaccination site. On this webpage you will find all information in English.
