Overview
- The najaarscampagne, which began Monday, September 21, 2026, runs until November 27 and uses an updated BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine at GGD locations.
- RIVM annual figures show a steady drop in registered coronavirus vaccinations from about 4 million in 2022 to roughly 2.2 million last year.
- Only people aged 70 and older receive automatic invitations this year while younger risk groups and other eligible adults must book via planjeprik.nl.
- A recently approved protein-based vaccine exists for people who cannot or do not want an mRNA shot, but it is not yet available for this campaign.
- Public-health officials say the fall in uptake is driven largely by a shrinking group of people who are automatically invited and by the GGD delivery model, which contrasts with the steadier flu uptake that is organized through GPs and reaches more people.
