Vaccination without appointment from 16 - 27 August

We all have our own responsibility to secure a safe restart. Not only by complying with the safety rules but also by getting vaccinated.

Therefore, the UG, Hanze UAS and the Municipal Health Service (GGD Groningen) have arranged for all students to be able to get vaccinated easily without having to make an appointment, from Monday 16 until Friday 27 August. Please go to the vaccination location at MartiniPlaza in Groningen. People between the ages of 18 and 26 can get vaccinated with the Janssen-vaccine (only one shot needed). You can stop by between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and have to bring a valid form of identification, such as your passport or EU ID card. Vaccination is always voluntary.

Are you between the ages of 16 and 18 or would you like to receive a different vaccine? You’re welcome too! Then you may receive the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine at Martiniplaza, after which an appointment will be made for your second vaccination 21 days later.

After 27 August, you will, of course, still be able to get vaccinated by making an appointment with the GGD Groningen or the GGD Friesland . This also applies if you are younger than 18 or older than 26 years old. We are also looking at the possibility of vaccinating students without an appointment in September.  

Finally, please keep checking our website rug.nl/corona for general information and updates.

Have you already received your first shot of an EU-authorized vaccine , and do you want to receive your second shot in the Netherlands? Then you can make an appointment for your second vaccination via this form on the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) website.

Was your first shot of a vaccine that has not been authorized by the EU yet, such as the Sputnik V vaccine, and do you want to receive your second vaccination in the Netherlands? Please contact your local Municipal Health Service (GGD). For Groningen city and province, this is GGD Groningen and for Leeuwarden city and province of Friesland, this is GGD Friesland .
