WILLEMSTAD - It is uncertain whether there will also be a repeat shot against Covid-19 on Curaçao. The Ministry of Public Health is discussing this with the Netherlands. Until now, the vaccination rounds have been financed by the Netherlands. The island itself has no money to buy the expensive vaccines from the pharmaceutical companies.
Autumn is approaching in the Netherlands, which is a typical season for flu. That is why the Netherlands will start the repeat injection in September. The question is whether this is necessary for Curaçao. No decision has yet been made on this.
