A total of 10,039,144 vaccine doses have already been administered in Austria . As of today, more than 4.89 million people are considered fully immunized, which corresponds to almost 55 percent of the total population. About five percent more were stung at least once.
“Our primary goal must be to increase the vaccination rate step by step. That is why I renew my appeal: Please get vaccinated and complete your vaccination protection”, explains Mückstein in conclusion. He particularly addresses the young people of our country:
“The Covid-19 vaccination is our only way out of the pandemic and it protects over 90 percent from infection – and thus also from Long Covid. This way we can protect ourselves as a society and prevent the infection situation from worsening again. Take the risk nothing, please get vaccinated. “
