80% gets swine flu jab
by Rene Steenhorst
AMSTERDAM - The Dutch show a massive response to the call of their doctor to be vaccinated against the flu virus H1N1.
Around 80 percent of people with certain health risks will have within a few days the first of two injections in total against the new flu.
This is a rough estimate that Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG) on request to the Ministry of Health has reported.
The figure corresponds to the already unusual, but already somewhat familiar image from hundreds waiting for GP practices and health centers.
Minister Klink (Public Health) said yesterday against the newspaper's figures really high, "These are the numbers that you hope that once you could achieve in the election." The turnout for the Mexican flu is even higher than that of the regular, annual 'winter flu'. That is about 75 percent.
The figure of 80 percent in the course of next week refined by the National Institute of Public Health and Environment (RIVM). This institution will publish the rates of all risk groups. The Dutch Vaccine Institute (NVI), Bilthoven delivered in the last ten days a total of 5.3 million vaccine doses.
