August 2024 was Earth’s hottest August in NOAA’s 175-year climate record. This marks the 15th-consecutive month of record-high global temperatures — which is itself a record streak.

According to NCEI’s Global Annual Temperature Outlook, there is a 97% chance that 2024 will rank as the world’s warmest year on record.

De najaarsronde van de coronaprik is van start!

Nog geen uitnodiging ontvangen? Vanaf eind augustus zijn de eerste uitnodigingsbrieven verstuurd, maar we versturen ze niet allemaal tegelijk. Dit is om de drukte te spreiden.

Ben je tussen de 18 en 60 jaar en krijg je elk jaar de uitnodiging voor de griepprik? Dan kun je zelf een afspraak maken voor de coronaprik bij de GGD.

Meer weten?
