Vaccinations play an important role in protecting your health and the health of others. Vaccinations protect you from infectious diseases. Through a vaccination, your body learns to recognise a pathogen. If you later come into contact with that disease, your body can react quickly and you usually don't get sick or get less sick. In the Netherlands, you get many vaccinations through the National Vaccination Programme. You can also get some vaccinations from your GP practice or the GGD.
Dear patient,
In the invitation letter for the flu vaccination, an error was accidentally made. It says it is for the pneumococcal vaccination, but that is not correct.
The invitation is for the flu shot. You can just come on the date and time mentioned in the letter.
We apologise for the confusion and thank you for your understanding.
We would like to ask you not to call the practice.
Sincerely,
Keizer Karelpark general practice
