Er, why would 1,000 out of 20,000 be a surprising result for a vaccine billed as being 95% effective? What were they expecting?https://twitter.com/rkhamsi/status/1416163271904727046 …
(Side note: I don't actually know what vaccine is deployed here - which vaccine is this likely to be?)

Pfizer - per https://coronadashboard.government.nl/landelijk/vaccinaties …, 72% of Dutch vaccinations are Pfizer. But the point about protection vs infection being lower is true of *all* the vaccines; 95% is a plausible protection vs death stat but all protection vs infection stats I've seen are in the 55%-70% range.

Oh - apparently https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099315/ … found ~95% effectiveness against infection. Maybe that's where you got the stat from! Not sure what to make of the varying effectiveness stats from different studies.
