Over 80-year-olds can now be vaccinated by their family doctor, and over-65s will also be able to do so from February 1.

The Ministry of Health on Wednesday published the long-awaited regulation for Corona vaccinations by general practitioners. This means that people over 80 may be vaccinated as of the regulation’s entry into force, and over-65s as of February 1. The fee is also regulated: the responsible health insurance provider must transfer 25 euros to the doctor for the first partial vaccination and 20 euros for the second.

The vaccination is initially intended for people “over the age of 80” and “people with disabilities with personal assistance and their personal assistants,” according to the text of the regulation.

As of Feb. 1, “persons over the age of 65” and “persons before the age of 65, provided they belong to the COVID 19 risk group according to the COVID 19 Risk Group Ordinance, Federal Law Gazette II No. 203/2020,” will be added. Furthermore, as of February 1, “persons in 24-hour care, their caregivers, and persons living with them in a shared household” and “persons living with a pregnant woman in a shared household” are included.

The regulation also states that vaccinations “shall also be administered to all other persons covered by health insurance or their eligible dependents, provided that sufficient vaccine is available and it cannot be administered to persons under subsection 2 within the storage period.” In this case, the “selection is to be made by the physician on the basis of the individual risk of disease and infection”. The ordinance comes into force on 28 January and is limited – initially at least – until 30 September.
