For example, one should now start building a vaccination infrastructure in schools in order to be able to get started quickly after the vaccine for five to twelve year olds has been approved in the near future. Once again, club chairman Michael Lindner and red teacher representatives asked for air filters, because: The constant ventilation means that it is “incredibly cold”.
If the contact tracing is not massively increased immediately, “we will lose our way through the increasingly difficult pandemic situation”, warned Franz Turek, state chairman of the Social Democratic Teachers’ Association (SL). If children test positive, “the responsible authorities probably no longer ask for K1 persons because they are too busy,” it says in an open letter from the above mentioned SL to the LHStv health officer. Christine Haberlander (VP). Instead, school administrators would simply be asked to hand out information letters for K2 people to the parents of the other children. “This lack of information creates uncertainty. If there is no longer any contact tracing, Haberlander has to say that too,” says Lindner.

A red demand that is made again and again is that for air filters. You can only buy this if you cannot ventilate. In the vast majority of classes you can ventilate, but “we’re sitting inside with a coat, scarf and outdoor shoes,” said SL staff representative Franz Bicek. “It’s unbelievably cold”, which is a big problem, especially for the younger children.
Turek appeals to politicians to “organize vaccination streets in schools now” so that after the vaccine has been approved for five- to twelve-year-olds, a quick start can be made. One should “please do not send the parents to look for an appointment again”. Even with teachers who were largely vaccinated with AstraZeneca and had to struggle with vaccination breakthroughs, it was currently “very difficult” to get an appointment for the third stitch, complained Bicek.

NEOS Upper Austria appealed to the state government to allow off-label vaccinations for five to twelve year olds in vaccination streets. More and more children are being vaccinated at the request of their parents and on the basis of individual consultations with a doctor, and especially children with previous illnesses can be protected in this way, according to club chairman Felix Eypeltauer. “We therefore urge LH Stelzer (Thomas, VP, note) and health officer Haberlander to make this offer possible for all parents and children who want it in Upper Austria’s Impfstraen”, as Vienna has already implemented. An off-label vaccination option would also be of particular importance for the regular school operation.
