The official start of vaccination in Austria is January 12, 2021. In the federal capital, however, not so much is expected.
The first corona vaccines in Austria were made in the media in the previous year. However, the official start of vaccinations in the republic was scheduled for January 12. In Vienna you can get vaccinated a week before, starting on January 6. “We will not waste time,” responsible councilor Peter Hacker (SPÖ) told ORF Vienna. He wants to be vaccinated himself immediately after another quantity of the vaccine is available.
Where to get vaccinated first
Starting January 5, about 5,000 doses of vaccine will be available in the Federal Purchasing store. Without wasting any more time, vaccination continues in the federal capital one day later. The cans are reserved for employees and residents of nursing homes and for the elderly, as well as for the nursing staff of the Covid wards of the following municipal clinics and large private hospitals:
► Hospital Brothers of Mercy
► Hospital Sisters of Mercy
► Hospital del Divino Salvador
► Franziskus Hospital
► Hanusch
► Hietzing Clinic
► Ottakring Clinic
► Clinic favorites
► Landstrasse Clinic
► Donaustadt Clinic
► Floridsdorf Clinic
Registration for vaccinations possible from mid-January
Hacker emphasizes that “every person who is vaccinated in a nursing home is a less serious disease,” he would mean. This will save lives and also relieve hospitals, according to Hacker, “our most valuable resource in this pandemic.” In order to carry out vaccinations as of next Wednesday, significant administrative obstacles still need to be overcome. Because the calendar is tight. Vaccination teams, administration teams, and assistants must be available by January 5. But you also need your own IT, including vaccination forms, vaccination certificates, and barcodes.
In addition, a needs survey for large organizations will be conducted before January 4. The vaccination campaign could last until January 11 inclusive. According to the Councilor for Health, 2,040 people have been vaccinated so far in Vienna, most of them high-risk patients in nursing homes and employees in various facilities. Before January 11, that is, before the official start of vaccination, about 7,000 people should be vaccinated in Vienna. From mid-January, those interested should also be able to actively register for a vaccination. Details are currently being worked out.
