Description

The figures in this table are taken from the national vaccination register Præventis of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) - Department of Vaccine Supply and Prevention Programmes (DVP). This table was prepared for the RIVM and contains data on the participation (vaccination rate) in the National Immunisation Programme from the reporting year 2023. Vaccination coverage is the percentage of children in a given birth cohort who have achieved the desired vaccination status according to the RVP vaccination schedule. This rate is set at different ages (infants, preschoolers, schoolchildren, adolescents) and for different vaccinations. As of the reporting year 2022, due to the coronavirus epidemic, figures are also available without an age limit when determining vaccination coverage. This means that vaccinations that were administered at a later time were also included. Since 1 January 2022, RIVM has received the data of part of the vaccinations anonymously. This happens when people do not give permission to share their data with RIVM. Anonymous vaccinations cannot be counted towards vaccination coverage, so they are reported lower than they actually are. The number of vaccinations that cannot be counted is still relatively small, as children were largely invited to the NIP vaccinations before 2022. It is important to be cautious when interpreting differences between regions or municipalities and differences between years within the same region or municipality. These can be actual differences, but they can also be partly caused by the extent to which informed consent is registered at the regional level. The level of informed consent depends not only on the willingness of the vaccinated and/or the parent(s) to give consent for data exchange, but also on the effort of the relevant JGZ organisation(s) to obtain consent and also differs per vaccine type. Data available from: 2006 Status of figures: Final Changes as of 02-04-2024: For reporting years 2022 and 2023, the figures with age limit have been added to make them more comparable to previous years. The figures with no age limit have now become separate subjects. When will there be new figures? Annually in the second half of June or early July for the year in question. New years are published in a new table and not added to this table. The reason for publishing in separate tables is that each year the most recent municipal classification for the whole period from 2006 is used, and the structure is therefore different.
