The Ministry of Health updated the Austrian Vaccination Plan a few days ago. Two years ago, the refreshing of the Pertussis Vaccination every five years for under-60-year-olds has been changed to every ten years because of the many cases of whooping cough. The situation has improved, said Maria Paulke-Korinek, head of the Department of Vaccination in the Ministry. The Covid Vaccination should be refreshed from now on, she recommended.
