Dutch to buy 34 million doses of swine flu vaccine
The Dutch health ministry said Thursday the government will buy 34
million doses of swine flu vaccine.
The ministry announced it decided to buy enough to vaccinate this entire country of 16.5 million people, plus inhabitants of the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba twice over. That's because a single vaccination against H1N1 might not offer enough protection, it said.
The ministry said it expected to sign contracts with unnamed vaccine suppliers on Friday for delivery in October and November. Experts estimate it is spending 350 million euros on the vaccines.
Nearly 90 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in the Netherlands, with no fatalities, according to the government's health institute RIVM. A real flu wave is expected to hit the Netherlands in the fall.
