The Netherlands- coronavirus vaccinations: more action required by Rutte Government to speed-up vaccination process and prioritise the vulnerable elderly
The rising number of people testing positive for COVID-19 in the Netherlands coupled with the new threat from mutant variants, makes it more urgent to vaccinate the oldest and most vulnerable, experts say.
Vaccine supplies are now coming into the Netherlands, and doctors say they need to get them into many more arms. So far Prime Minister Mark Rutte has not been very clear explaining how he plans to speed-up the vaccine rollout or give a precise schedule on the plan of action.
More than 60 per cent of COVID-19 deaths in the Netherlands have been among residents at the elder care homes and those aged 70 and older, according to an epidemiology update. More hands-on action is needed urgently.

The Netherlands: Back-of-the-pack Dutch Rutte Government under fire for slow coronavirus vaccine rollout – by Eline Schaart
The Dutch government's vaccine strategy has been flawed, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Tuesday as he admitted watching on with frustration as other countries' citizens were given a jab against the coronavirus.
“Because the government's approach was not agile enough, vaccination will start later than in other European countries,” Rutte said during a debate in parliament.
The Netherlands will only vaccinate its first citizen, a care home nurse, on Wednesday — making it one of the last countries in the EU to begin giving coronavirus vaccines.

The Netherlands: Health insurance costs likely to rise by 62 euros next year
The price of the basic required health insurance package is likely to
rise by 62 euros per year to about 1,476 euros annually, political
sources told newspaper AD. The total increase was significantly lower
than the 144 euro increase which had been predicted by analysts.
The announcement was expected to be made later this month when the Cabinet's proposed budget is revealed on September 15. The increase of about 5.17 euros monthly could still shift up or down by a few dozen cents, the newspaper said. The estimate was agreed upon by the coalition parties, and is based on an insurer having a deductible of 385 euros.
From that baseline price, health insurers then set their own fees.
Discounts are often offered for bundled add-on coverage, opting out of
coverage at some locations, or by making a full annual payment up front
instead of dividing it over the course of the year. Raising the
deductible is also an option for reducing the price a consumer pays.
Consumers have the option of switching their health insurance at the end
of the year.
The price increase had been expected to be larger due to the coronavirus crisis, though former Medical Care Minister Martin van Rijn said that was unlikely. This could still impact the cost of insurance in 2022, the newspaper reported.
Note EU-Digest: This is scandalous, and proves once again that healthcare is a common right for every citizen, just like education, and not a commodity for the greedy profit oriented private sector to control. The Netherlands healthcare system is, unfortunately, starting to resemble the US healthcare system.
