NIJKERK After an alarming report from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) on lowering the vaccination rate in the Netherlands, CDA Nijkerk-Hoevelaken posed questions to the mayor and aldermen.
Pam van de Weijer, ADC Advisor: "Whereas in the past only small religious groups have rejected vaccination, we now see a growing group of people who think vaccinations are more harmful than diseases against which they protect. On social media, all kinds of information is distributed and there are websites that make many parents doubt the side effects of vaccination. This makes vaccination coverage so low that virtually disappearing childhood diseases are re-emerging in Western countries. For example, holidays in Italy, where there has been a measles outbreak, make young children in our country vulnerable to this infectious disease. For this we can be vaccinated free of charge in the Netherlands so that we can eliminate diseases and prevent serious complications. "
The CDA therefore asks the college how is insured immunization coverage in the municipality of Nijkerk." the downward trend is possible for parents of newborns if necessary a conversation with a young doctor from the GGD. The CDA considers that it is important that the parents of Nijkerk commune offer reliable information to be able to make a conscious choice regarding vaccination.
