A booster shot will then be necessary for many people to obtain a corona admission ticket, said outgoing Minister of Health Hugo de Jonge at a press conference on Monday.' 'It is not yet certain how long the vaccination certificate will remain valid, but the Netherlands will probably follow European regulations. For the sake of clarity: the validity period only includes the so-called 'primary' vaccinations. There is not yet a validity period for a vaccination certificate after a booster shot. This is because experts do not yet know how long a booster shot will provide sufficient protection against COVID-19.' 'In addition to introducing a period of validity for vaccination, the government is also considering shortening the period of validity of the recovery certificate. At the moment, the proof of recovery in the Netherlands is valid for one year and the cabinet is looking at whether that can be reduced to 180 days. More information about this will follow in mid-January.' Thoughts? Science says: Period after non-vaccinated recovery should be 10 years or so (probably longer -- as we get close it could be extended). Period after vaccination should be about 4 months. At that point the protection against infection goes negative and people become more likely to catch and spread covid. What isn't clear is the period after infection for vaccinated individuals -- it might be that this will need to be closer to 4 months than 10 years. As it stands the vaccination certificate will make things worse -- it allows the vaccinated freedom even if they're more likely to spread covid, but constrains the recovered even though they'll have very long lasting protection against re-infection and thus spread.
