In 2022, a slightly higher number of people in the Netherlands contracted diseases covered by the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) compared to 2021. This increase is likely due to the easing of coronavirus measures, such as social distancing.

According to RIVM’s registration system, at least 90% of babies have been vaccinated against mumps, measles and rubella (MMR). Furthermore, around 93% of babies are registered as having been vaccinated against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus and polio (DTaP-IPV). The registration system shows that more than 50% of boys have now had their first vaccination against HPV. The same is true for more than 60% of girls.
