The Health Ministry had tried to reorder flu vaccines for the upcoming season due to the coronavirus outbreak in the competitive global market. By mid-August, 1.1 million cans had been secured for Austria, this number has now increased again. All the quotas organized by the ministry represent additional quantities that were not available for the Austrian market in previous years, it was emphasized.

This means that for the next season “the course has been established to provide the two risk groups, the elderly and children, free vaccination campaigns,” said Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens). In addition, we are in close contact with chambers, manufacturers, federal states, social security and wholesalers to distribute the available quantities in such a way that there is never an insufficient supply. “
