Sven Ambrosy, a local councillor took to his Facebook page to inform his constituents that among them were around 8600 potentially affected people who will need to retake the vaccine.

He added that the district of Friesland will do everything possible to ensure that the affected people receive their vaccination protection as soon as possible.

The Friends show actress said she is cutting ties with people who are unvaccinated and explained that while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, she doesn't want to associate with them.

"There's still a large group of people that are afraid of the vaccination or anti-vaxxers, or they really don't just listen to actual facts. It's a real shame, and you know I've lost a few people in my daily, weekly routine."
