Every Shot Counts
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport asked for a party that could lead a design process within a complex and political organisation and cooperation. TD was asked to coordinate this process with all partners, being VWS, Justice, the security regions, the major carriers and the municipalities. Both the process and the means of controlling the quarantine declaration had to be designed, as did its enforcement.
It didn’t take long for a new problem to arise. The vaccination campaign – led by RIVM – was in full swing. It was conducted in age cohorts. However, not everyone was getting vaccinated, and by June 2021 all ages had been covered. A follow-up strategy was requested. This was found in a new narrative “Every injection counts” and a platform prikkenzonderafspraak.nl. The idea turned out to be as simple as it was effective. It became the central narrative and platform from the government, emphasised in the press conference by Minister De Jonge. It was also a first successful integration between all vaccination sites of all regional GGDs with VWS together.
Hereafter, several design tasks were thus addressed, such as reaching groups that were not reached based on data research. Also, after a singleminded belief in vaccination, communication and services were opened up more to people who doubt vaccination through overvaccineren.nl.
“Total Design is an agency that genuinely seeks, designs and finds the best solution and doesn't give up until it has succeeded. It is an agency I recommend if you want to reach the next level in service. They are strong in service design as well as in language. Total Design thrives in an environment where results are key.”
