The ministry makes this estimate based on the number of people who had their first injections more than 270 days ago, the number of boosters that have already been put and the number of people who have tested positive. On the basis of that calculation, “up to 540,000 people will have to deal with a ctb that expires on the basis of vaccination at the beginning of February,” Kuipers wrote on Monday in answer to parliamentary questions.
The ministry previously decided to shorten the validity of the vaccination and recovery certificate. The validity of the recovery ticket is reduced to 180 days, while the validity of the corona admission ticket based on vaccination is set at 270 days. For those who have obtained a booster shot, an unlimited term applies for the time being.
The cabinet wants to bring the corona pass in line with the rules that apply to the European corona certificate (DCC), with which citizens can travel through the EU. The reason that this is adopted in this way is mainly to provide ‘clarity for the citizen’, is emphasized several times.
