The Netherlands began giving second vaccinations to nursing staff who first had the coronavirus vaccine earlier this month on Wednesday, but so far fewer than 200,000 people have had their first jab.
Sanna Elkadiri, the nursing home assistant who kicked off the Dutch vaccination campaign was the first to get her second jab, three weeks after the initial dose on January 6.
The Netherlands continues to sit close to the bottom of lists showing how the vaccination strategies are progressing across Europe and criticism of the reliance on rigid and complex systems is mounting.
