A majority in the Dutch lower house wants Health Minister Ab Klink to donate A(H1N1) vaccine to the World Health Organisation.
Two of the government coalition parties, Labour and the Christian Union, as well as the opposition Socialist Party and Green Left told Radio Netherlands Worldwide that Mr Klink should act immediately to enable the WHO to supply developing countries with the vaccine.
The Netherlands ordered 34 million doses of flu vaccine when the current pandemic developed, with a view to immunising the entire population. Because of a later decision that only vulnerable groups within the population will be inoculated, a sizeable quantity of the vaccine is surplus to requirements.
