Medicines and vaccinations

I would like to have additional shots for my child or for myself that are not standard in the Netherlands. How can I arrange this?

You will have to contact your huisarts (GP) or visit a specialised vaccinatie bureau (vaccination centre). Please bear in mind that you will probably have to pay for additional shots yourself.
