What do I have to do before I come to the vaccination appointment?

You have to do a few things before the vaccination appointment. You can read about this below:

  • Make sure we can reach your upper arm easily. Wear clothes that make this easy. For example a sleeveless undershirt or a loose T-shirt. 
  • Bring the email about your vaccination appointment with you to the appointment. You can show it on your phone. You do not need to print it.  Did you get a letter from the RIVM with an invitation for the coronavirus vaccination? Bring the letter with you.
  • Fill in the questionnaire about your health before the appointment. Bring the completed questionnaire with you to your appointment. You can find the questionnaire about your health on this page. Did you get a letter from the RIVM with an invitation for the coronavirus vaccination? Then you got the questionnaire about your health with that letter.
  • Bring your passport, identity card, driving licence or document issued to foreign nationals with you. 
  • Have you received a referral letter from your doctor or other information about the coronavirus vaccination? Then bring that with you too. 
  • Does your child have an appointment? And is your child aged under 16? Then at least one parent or carer must come with your child. At the vaccination centre we ask if both parents or carers give permission for your child’s coronavirus vaccination. 

What do I have to do at the vaccination centre? 

You can read below about what happens at the vaccination appointment. The appointment takes about 30 minutes. Make sure you arrive on time. But do not arrive more than 5 minutes before your appointment. 

  • Are you coming into the vaccination centre? Then you must show the email about your vaccination appointment first. And your passport, identity card, driving licence or document issued to foreign nationals. 
  • You can then go to one of the GGD employees. 
  • You answer a number of questions about your health. And you show the questionnaire about your health that you have filled in. 
  • Then you get the vaccination. 
  • We advise you to sit and wait for 15 minutes afterwards. You may need aftercare.
