The additional maximum of 340,035 adolescent vaccinees should at least not drastically slow the pace of vaccination in Austria, as slightly more than 350,000 initial vaccinations were conducted in the previous week alone. Overall, as of Wednesday, 3.4 million people in Austria had been vaccinated (38.6 percent of the population as of Jan. 1, 2021), including 1.3 million who were fully immunized (15 percent of the population).
Immunization coverage is highest among 75- to 84-year-olds, at nearly 80 percent, and lowest among 16- to 24-year-olds, at just under 18 percent. The government has announced that it will provide everyone in Austria who wants it with at least the first vaccination by the end of June. If 70 to 80 percent of the population wanted to be vaccinated, almost 2.1 to 2.9 million first vaccinations would still be outstanding.
