With the approval of the second vaccine from Moderna, more vaccine is now available, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said, as reported by the Austrian daily “diepresse”. As a result, vaccinations will be given to all elderly persons not living in nursing or retirement homes. “The sooner we vaccinate the older generation and vulnerable groups, the better we will relieve the burden on hospitals and intensive care units,” Kurz said. Protecting these people will be the focus of vaccinations in the coming weeks, he said.After criticism of the slow start of the Corona vaccinations, the federal government has reacted and brought forward the vaccinations, whose official state was scheduled for January 12. In addition, the EU Commission had decided on Wednesday on the recommendation of the medicines authority EMA, Moderna as a second Corona vaccine with immediate effect.
