Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP) announced on Saturday on the sidelines of a media appointment in Vienna that supermarket employees will be among the first to get their turn at company vaccinations against Sars-CoV-2. “Because these were also heroines and heroes in the Corona crises,” as the chancellor said. Operational vaccinations will begin “as early as May.”
Vaccination against the virus “is progressing steadily,” Kurz held. And he reiterated, “Everyone who wants to be vaccinated will be able to be vaccinated by the end of the second quarter.”
Meanwhile, the news magazine “profil” reported that Vienna will take a different approach to vaccination than Lower Austria, which recently opened registration for vaccination appointments to all population groups, and other provinces such as Salzburg, which vaccinate according to descending age. Accordingly, in the federal capital, starting next week, occupational risk will count alongside age when registering for vaccinations. According to “profil”, 40,000 vaccination appointments will be made available for two special occupational groups.
According to the report, employees who come close to Covid – such as technicians who do setups in vaccination lines or staff in laundries who wash hospital laundry – can count on a vaccination appointment in a timely manner. The same is true for people who need to go abroad for work-related reasons and thus take risks.” According to “profil,” after these two groups, it will be the turn of retailers.
