Five volunteers receive their first Covid injections

The largest vaccination campaign in Austrian history begins on Sunday. At 9 a.m., three women and two men over the age of 80 will be the first to be vaccinated against the coronavirus in Austria. At-risk patients receive the first of two doses of vaccine at MedUni Vienna.

The first injections are made by Ursula Wiedermann-Schmidt, president of the Austrian Vaccination Society and president of the Austrian Vaccination Commission, and the president of the Austrian Medical Association, Thomas Szekeres. Austria starts immunization at the same time as the EU. SALZBURG24 will broadcast the start of vaccinations LIVE from 8.55 am.:

Protection seven days after corona vaccination

MedUni has a special outpatient clinic for high-risk patients. All five test subjects volunteered there, Wiedermann-Schmidt explained. They all have previous illnesses. The oldest is 93 years old. According to the manufacturer, a certain protective effect should already be administered seven days after the first partial vaccination. Many other patients have also signed up for a vaccination list.

Vaccination dose for all federal states

“Vaccination marks the beginning of victory against the pandemic,” said Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP). All federal states must receive vaccination doses at the same time.
