Flu vaccinations will then be available at a total of five locations for people over the age of 15 at a discounted price of 15.00 euros. The offer is free for children, said health officer LH deputy Christine Haberlander (ÖVP) on Sunday.
Especially since people have not had contact with the flu virus and thus the “natural booster” for more than a year, help is needed. A double infection – i.e. a simultaneous illness from the flu and the corona virus could increase the risk of severe courses, warned Haberlander.
The influenza injection will then be given in Hall 4 in Wels, the Sepp Öller Hall in Mattighofen, in the Bad Ischl Congress Center, in Zell an der Pram Castle and in the Arena in Bad Zell. Vaccination streets in Großraming, Bad Leonfelden and Windischgarsten will also be added in the course of the week.
In Upper Austria, the seven-day incidence on Sunday afternoon was 250.9. 6,575 people were currently infected with the corona virus. The deaths climbed from 2,304 to 2,313, according to the country’s dashboard. There were currently 147 people in normal wards in the Upper Austrian hospitals. 76 sufferers had to receive intensive care across the country.
