Over the course of 2021, all Salzburg residents who want to get vaccinated should do so too. Concern for a large number of infections.
He is confident that the first Covid vaccines will be available in Salzburg from mid-January. So said state medical director Petra Juhasz in an interview with the state media center Thursday. In the event that the two vaccines for which clinical trials have been completed are approved, the first vaccines by the federal government are scheduled for the beginning of the year. The first doses of vaccine are aimed at risk groups and health workers, says Juhasz. “But the reports from the federal government are that in the course of 2021 every person in Salzburg who wants a vaccine should have one.”
Intensive preparations for logistics
Intensive preparations are currently underway between the federal government and the federal states regarding the logistics of the vaccine. “These are not pre-filled syringes as we know them from other vaccines. These vaccines come in multiple packages and sometimes require special cooling, everything has to be prepared.”
Watch compatibility closely from the start
You are not concerned about the safety of these vaccines. Although the approval process was faster than usual, it went through all the necessary phases. “But he will monitor tolerance closely from the start.”
“I was hoping there was already a flattening”
Juhasz is concerned about the current infection figures: 495 new infections were reported in Salzburg on Thursday. There were also eight Covid-related deaths from Wednesday to Thursday, including a 48-year-old from Salzburg. Juhasz expected that in view of the stricter measures, the numbers would have stabilized significantly since this week. “I’m getting impatient,” says Juhasz. Since there are now more cases than in the first wave, it was unfortunately also to be expected that there would be more deaths. “We also have more older people who are sick, who are also at higher risk of developing a serious disease course.”
December 7: “I look forward to a careful opening”
Given the current numbers, Juhasz is also concerned about the currently planned end of the lockdown on December 7. “I look forward to the opening date with concern. I hope it opens carefully, otherwise there is a fear that we will soon have the same number of cases as we currently have.”
