Covid-19 expected to push demand for flu vaccine; Shortage possible

Due to the coronavirus, public health institute RIVM expects a higher than usual demand for the flu vaccine. The RIVM therefore purchased more vaccines than normal, so the turnout can be 10 percent higher than normal. If more people than that want a flu shot, there may be a shortage. The RIVM purchased as many flu vaccines as possible, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health, Welfare and Sports said to NU.nl. Submitted by Janene Pieters on Wednesday, 12 August 2020 - 08:44 https://nltimes.nl/2020/08/12/covid-19-expected-push-demand-flu-vaccine-shortage-possible
