It is very likely that there are too few flu vaccines available for all people over 60. The cabinet therefore asks healthy people between the ages of 60 and 69 not to accept the invitation for the flu shot. So that at least the most vulnerable people get a vaccine. Are you heeding that call?
We shared the call from the cabinet last week on the Facebook page of Plus Magazine and there were a lot of reactions. For example, some of the Plus readers state that they will stay indoors a lot and see few people in the coming period. The flu shot has therefore become unnecessary for them. There closes the prediction of the RIVM that we are in for a mild flu season, added. The corona measures taken also help to reduce the spread of flu.
These readers also like to ‘donate’ their flu shot to people who need it more.
Corona and flu
But there are also plenty of people who would like to get the flu shot this year. Because they are afraid of getting corona and flu at the same time. And because they prefer not to get the flu this year, because that also means: getting tested for corona and quarantine.

Will you heed the government’s call and skip the flu shot this year so that a vulnerable person can get it? Or not? Respond to our statement.
