Every year, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, RIVM provides an overview of surveillance and developments in the National Immunisation Programme (NIP). In 2014, the number of doses against the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been reduced from 3 to 2. The number of invasive pneumococcal diseases in vaccinated children has been further reduced as a result of the introduction of a new vaccine in 2011. Another development was the reduction of the number of invasive pneumococcal disease in adults, probably due to indirect protection.
