From now on, you will no longer have to try to locate the nearest GGD branch to get your coronavirus vaccine. Students can get the vaccine without having to schedule an appointment at the \u2018vaccination bus\u2019, a mobile vaccination centre currently parked on campus. \u201cMany students think going to a proper centre is too much of a hassle.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a large, blue tent was erected on the EUR campus, in front of the Spar supermarket. Anyone who does not have a vaccination appointment yet can get vaccinated on the spot. A few students are talking to the GGD staff on hand or are queueing to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, 67 people were vaccinated here, which is quite a significant number for such a small pop-up vaccination centre, says regional coordinator Mark Egberts, who is in charge of all the pop-up vaccination centres in Rotterdam-Noord. \u201cAt present our main focus is on schools, because vaccination rates are low there. There are several reasons for this. First, many students think it\u2019s not important [for them], and secondly, we\u2019re often told that going to a proper centre is too much of a hassle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
