International students can get their vaccination in Amsterdam any time after their arrival in the Netherlands. 

You are welcome to visit the GGD Amsterdam vaccination locations. You do not have to make an appointment. You can come to get your first or second shot, but also for answers to any questions you may have about getting vaccinated. In several areas of the city of Amsterdam you can get vaccinated by mobile units.

No, if you are not registered in the BRP yet, you don’t get the QR-code. However, as soon as you have been registered, you can add your BSN number in the app and you will receive the QR-code. It is important to keep your patient number, since you need it to register your BSN number.

In the CoronaCheck-app, you can find a QR-code that indicates that you are fully vaccinated. You can download the app in the Appstore and Playstore.

On the website government.nl you can read the frequently asked questions about the approach to tackling coronavirus in the Netherlands and the rules that apply.

While we hope that everyone who studies and works at the UvA chooses to get vaccinated, everyone is free to decide this for themselves. This means we will not be requiring a vaccination certificate or negative test certificate. We are counting on everyone to take responsibility to prevent further infections. Do you have any symptoms? If so, stay at home and ask for a test at the GGD.

If you develop symptoms that could be related to coronavirus,  you can get tested to see if you are infected. Please visit www.government.nl for more information. We urge you to not visit the campus if you have any symptoms.

For medical assistance, the usual practice in the Netherlands is for a patient to have an initial consultation with a general practitioner, before making an appointment with a specialist in hospital. As a student in Amsterdam you can contact the General Practitioners Practice UvA if you need medical assistance. Do not visit the practice, please call first.
