Dutch hospitals call for vaccinations for all healthcare staff Photo: DutchNews.nl When describing the Covid reality in the Netherlands last week, prime minister Mark Rutte said there were two different worlds: one for those who work inside hospitals and another one for the rest of us. While we on the outside crave normalcy, café culture and festivals, those on the inside, he said, fear a code black of full beds and maximum capacity. But what healthcare workers in the nation’s hospitals actually fear is not being vaccinated. ‘The problem is not ICU beds and machines,’ says Marc van den Broek, spokesman for Amsterdam’s UMC teaching hospital. ‘Those we have. It’s the staff. They are tired, sick and some even have coronavirus. We want all hospital workers to be vaccinated as soon as possible.’
