A vaccination program consists of a series of recommended or compulsory vaccinations aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases. In the Netherlands, there is a comprehensive National Immunisation Programme in place to safeguard children against potentially fatal infectious diseases.
These diseases, which can be fatal if left untreated, include:
Diphtheria (D)
Pertussis (whooping cough) (aP)
Tetanus (T)
Polio (IPV)
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
Pneumococcal disease (PCV)
Hepatitis B (HBV)
Mumps (M)
Measles (M)
Rubella (German measles) (R)
Meningococcal disease (MenACWY)
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
The vaccination program is designed to protect individuals from these infectious diseases and prevent their spread within the population. By ensuring that individuals receive the recommended vaccinations, the risk of contracting and transmitting these diseases is significantly reduced.
