St. Pölten – flu shot after one day now available

The St. Pölten Health Department received 700 doses of vaccination from the Sanofi company. They were already sold out on the first day of the vaccination campaign.

In the square in front of the “Meeting Room” in the union building behind the station square, a huge line snaked towards the entrance on Monday. The reason for this was the first day of the health department’s flu vaccination campaign. The rush for the vaccine was so great that the entire contingent was sold out in a few hours. Therefore, no more flu vaccines can be offered.

Already in the spring, due to the current corona pandemic, an avalanche of flu vaccination was foreseeable. In early May, the St. Pölten Health Department attempted to order a larger contingent of vaccines than in previous years. “Unfortunately, it was not possible to obtain a greater quantity of vaccines from the wholesalers,” said a spokeswoman for the city council. In addition, out-of-town citizens make sure that the St. Pöltner vaccine is shortened. “This year there is no planned vaccination campaign in the district administrative authority,” the spokeswoman complained.

The vaccines brought will continue to be vaccinated

The vaccines brought from the pharmacy will continue to be vaccinated during the vaccination campaigns. These are available every Monday from 9 am to 10:30 am and every Thursday from 1 to 2:30 pm in the meeting room. There is still enough vaccine for pneumococcal vaccination. “There are still enough reserves for this and, from today’s perspective, there are no delivery problems,” the spokeswoman said.
