Handy:comparing corona vaccines

All those vaccines being developed against corona… You read a lot about them, but how useful would it be if you could compare them at a glance?

You can compare the vaccines that have been approved in the Netherlands on Coronavaccin comparer.nl. The differences can be clearly seen at a glance. If there are changes or if a new vaccine becomes available, the site will be updated.

Founders

The independent site is an initiative of Bert Stelder (GP), Mia Hendriks (practice manager / nurse), Monique Hinfelaar (psychologist / care manager) and Marc Hinfelaar (communication advisor). They know healthcare, the pharmaceutical industry and health education from the inside out. They have developed this website entirely on their own initiative, without any involvement or interference from any party involved.

'Useful for everyone'

“For our work in healthcare, we started collecting neutral information about the different vaccines at the end of 2020. It was noticed that there is a lot to find, but not well-organized. Comparable data on effectiveness and safety could not be found in one handy overview, so when we did that for ourselves in a few tables, we thought it might be useful for others, hence the website. We only include it once a vaccine has been officially approved in the Netherlands. Without value judgment or advice, just the independent, objective information based on primary sources such as EMA and MEB.”
