Corona vaccine
Since the end of August 2024, the RIVM has been inviting people aged 60 and over by letter for the corona shot. People under the age of 60 who fall into the target group will not receive an invitation letter. They can make an appointment at the GGD. The corona shot is given by the regional GGDs. The injection is done with the mRNA vaccine JN.1 from BioNTech/Pfizer. It is possible to get the corona shot until December 6, 2024.
What is enough to drink?
It is healthy for adults to drink 1.5 to 2 liters on a normal day. Water or other drinks without sugar. Like tea or coffee. Moisture is also found in soup, vegetables and fruit, for example.
Drink enough when you are sick
With fever, vomiting and diarrhea you lose more fluid. Therefore, make sure you always have something to drink.

Did you remove a tick from your skin? Pay attention to this:
A tick in your skin gives you a small chance of getting a disease. Duringthe first three months, pay attention to whether you get a spot or ring. Which can occur where the tick was, or anywhere else on your body.
Pharmacy De Brug
From now on, pharmacy De Brug is only available for emergency prescriptions from the Huisartsenpost, de Spoedpost and prisciptions written by specialists at the Flevoziekenhuis.
You can choose your own pharmacy, but you must arrange registration with a pharmacy yourself.
Change
From 01-01-2024, coordinating assistant Rowena will work from home for the practice instead of at the practice. Rowena has worked with Dr. Didden for many years, even before Dr. Didden started this practice in 2013, and is a familiar face to many patients. Rowena will be missed on location!
