Seven in 10 will have a coronavirus vaccine, 8.6 million doses now used

Just over seven in 10 Dutch people in the Netherlands will have a coronavirus vaccine when it is their turn, national statistics agency CBS said on Thursday, on the basis of its latest quarterly health monitor. Some 66% of the 2,000 people questioned in the first quarter of this year said they would be vaccinated and 4% had already been so, the survey found. The research was carried out before the vaccination programme got up to steam. However, 14% of respondents – who were aged 16 plus – said they would not be vaccinated and 15% said they did not have an opinion either way.
