1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:07,720 The Netherlands wants to donate just as many COVID-19 vaccines to other countries as we use ourselves. 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,480 Wherever possible, we donate vaccines through Covax, the international cooperation programme. 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,600 And to avoid waste, we also donate directly from our own inventory. 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,400 RIVM arranges transport for these donations. 5 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,920 First we investigate how many vaccines a donation country needs, and what kind. 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,160 We also look at the shelf life of the vaccines we have in stock... 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,120 and the number of doses we need for our own vaccination campaign. 8 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,40 Then we organise transport... 9 00:00:37,80 --> 00:00:41,40 and assist countries in preparing properly for the arrival of the vaccines. 10 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:44,520 For example, we help arrange the necessary documentation... 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,600 and ensure that the vaccines are at the right temperature when they arrive. 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,320 Throughout the process, we maintain contact with a donation country... 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,120 about vaccine rollout and provide support where necessary. 14 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,880 This is how RIVM ensures that the donated vaccines arrive safely... 15 00:01:01,0 --> 00:01:02,800 and can be deployed quickly.
