The new COVID forced vaccination regime in Austria had no positive effect on vaccine adoption in Vienna – this is the claim made by the best-selling newspaper in Austria. Additionally, government figures that the newspaper claims have seen the government have actually seen a decline in the number of vaccinated individuals since the legal mandate went into effect on February 5.
According to the Kronen Zeitung report, instead of increasing the number of vaccinations, the number of vaccinations actually decreased, starting the day before the new mandatory vaccination rules came into effect.
“There is no mandatory vaccination effect – and if there is, then rather it goes the other way,” the publication claimed.
In particular, the publication notes significant minimums for those who are vaccinated on February 6 – a day after the obligation came into force – and February 12, both of which saw major drops in the number of first, second and booster given. .
The source of the figures published by the Kronen Zeitung would be the office of health adviser Peter Hacker, who then criticized the new vaccination rules.
“All in all, the Austrian instruments relating to and vaccinations do not translate into an all-round strategy and do not have a recognizable objective,” the measures office told the Kronen Zeitung. “This is why no vaccination rush is to be expected in the coming days and weeks.”
