In the Netherlands, people who are at increased risk of complications from an influenza infection (flu), due to a higher age or a medical condition, are invited for influenza vaccination each year. In 2022, 56.8% of them were vaccinated.

In 2022, 56.8% of those invited for influenza vaccination were vaccinated. Though being lower than in 2021, when 58.3% were vaccinated, this number is higher than in 2017 to 2020. In 2008, 72% of the target group was vaccinated. This dropped in the following years to 50% in 2017. Since then, there has been an upward trend. When comparing with previous years, changes in the criteria for a medical indication for influenza vaccination should be taken into account.
