Number of CoV vaccination lines will be halved

At the turn of the year, three of the original six vaccination routes remained: in the city of Salzburg in the Airport Center, in the HAK Zell am See (Pinzgau) and in the St. Johann im Pongau retirement home. There are also vaccination options at 270 general practitioners in town and country.

Interest in it has recently dropped significantly, the country reported. Around 7,000 doses of vaccine were provided in December, and there is capacity for 10,000 a week. Half of Salzburg got three stitches, especially many in Pinzgau. 90 percent of Austrians are considered immune, either through vaccination or illness.

Uncertainty factor China

According to experts, the corona virus has entered a new stage: It is said to be one of the dangerous respiratory infectious diseases. However, a global factor of uncertainty is China, where there are currently a particularly large number of infections. There, the quarantine requirement for everyone upon entry was cut on Tuesday. Immediately, the request from Chinese for foreign flights increased sharply, it is reported. And that could potentially lead to new virus mutations, experts fear – more on that in news.orf.at (12/27/2022).
