Now that every adult Dutch person can make an appointment for a corona jab, the question arises whether minors should also be vaccinated. The health council will issue a recommendation on this next month. At least half of the parents with a child between the ages of 12 and 17 are in favor.
Mostly positive
Three out of ten parents surveyed (33 percent) say they will definitely have their child vaccinated and 19 percent probably. Another 1 percent has already had their child vaccinated against corona because they fall into a risk group. In total, half (53 percent) of the parents are positive about vaccinating their adolescents.
The Health Council previously recommended vaccinating children aged 12 to 17 with a high medical risk. An advice on vaccinating healthy children in that age group is expected in early July. This is already happening in the US and a number of European countries
