Vaccination figures: 31 January 2022 to 6 February 2022
Number of vaccinations in the basic series
By Sunday 6 February 2022, it is estimated that more than 24.9 million first and second vaccinations in the basic series of COVID-19 vaccinations had been administered in the Netherlands. More than 13.4 million of those were first vaccinations, and more than 11.4 million were second vaccinations. About 133,000 third vaccinations have been administered to people with severely impaired immunity.

Slight delay in weekly update on reported positive tests
The weekly update on positive tests and hospital admissions that RIVM normally posts on Tuesday around 15:00 hrs, and the accompanying open data, will be published later today.
The number of reported positive COVID-19 tests rose dramatically over the past few weeks. Due to the high volume of positive test results, the Municipal Public Health Services (GGDs) has experienced delays in transmitting these figures to RIVM since 18 January 2022. As a result, the actual number of reported positive tests was higher than the numbers reported daily by RIVM. The reported positive tests from the GGD test lanes were first entered into a GGD system. From there, the reported positive test results were transferred to a second GGD system, where information from source and contact tracing was entered by hand. As of today, reported figures on positive tests will be sent directly from the GGD test lanes to RIVM; this includes the new reported positive tests and the previous positive tests that were not yet reported to RIVM. As a result of this catch-up action, RIVM will be reporting a particularly high number of positive tests today. Today’s weekly news item on COVID-19 figures will be delayed slightly, and is expected to be published between 16:00 and 16:30 hrs.

Booster vaccination still very effective
From 1 December 2021 to 25 January 2022, vaccine effectiveness for the COVID-19 booster vaccination was 97% against hospital admission and 98% against ICU admission.
A booster vaccination provides more protection against hospital admission than only completing the basic series of COVID-19 vaccinations: 97% compared to 83%. This means that the risk of hospital admission after a booster vaccination is 33 times lower compared to no COVID-19 vaccinations and 5 times lower compared to a completed basic series without a booster.
