Good patientcare is very important to us. Unfortunately, the transition into Quin Dokters has seen a number of setbacks, which sometimes makes it difficult to reach the practice by phone. We are really sorry about this and we would like to thank you for your patience. 
 

We do everything we can to improve the ease of getting in touch with the practice. For example, you can arrange many healthcare matters via our website, such as requesting a repeat prescription and an e-consultation, viewing your medical file and scheduling a telephone consultation. Our digital functions will be further expanded at the end of May. We will inform you as soon as new functions are available. 
 

Behind the scenes, we are also working hard on expanding our team and on a more efficient handling of telephone and e-mail within the practice. 
 

We expect to have improved the ease to reach the practice before the summer of 2021.  
 

Thank you again for your understanding and patience.

In principle, everybody with the year of birth 1960 and older has already been summoned by the GGD.  

The next group to be called for a corona vaccination, starting May 6th, is the flu-vaccine group with a birth year between 1961-2003. The invitation letter comes from the RIVM and the vaccination will be given at one of the GGD locations. About the phasing, the RIVM says: "Invitations are made per GP practice, so all people per GP practice are invited at once. No selection is made on the basis of age. After the start, everyone is invited within 2 to 3 weeks".

As a general practice, we have no influence on the national planning of the vaccinations. We ask you to wait for your invitation for a vaccination. To help you find the right information, we have listed some frequently asked questions and answers below with links to websites with information.

Frequently asked questions about Corona vaccination

Why should I choose to be vaccinated? And is vaccination mandatory?

‘Vaccination against the Corona virus is not compulsory. But if everyone gets vaccinated, the corona virus will no longer be able to spread. A vaccination protects not only yourself, but also the people around you’.

Do I have a choice in the vaccine I get? 

‘You can't choose a particular vaccine. Based on (international) advice, the government decides if and which vaccines are suitable for a certain target group’.

I have been vaccinated against Covid-19. When will I be protected?

‘Most people get 2 vaccinations for a good protection. You are 1 week (with the Pfizer vaccine) to 2 weeks (with the Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines) after the second shot well protected against the coronavirus. Sometimes, one vaccination is enough. That is if you receive the Janssen vaccine. Or when you have had COVID-19 in the past 6 months. In that case, you are also well protected against the coronavirus two weeks after the shot’.

What do GPs do with any vaccines that are left over?

‘GPs order carefully and only for people who are due for their vaccinations. You can't apply for vaccines that are left over’.
