The national vaccination committee still sees no need for general advice for a fourth corona vaccination. A fourth stitch is only recommended for people at risk, vulnerable groups and people over 65 years of age.
The accompanying letter from the NIG, which, according to Ö1, is currently under investigation by the Ministry of Health, states in principle that anyone can receive a booster vaccination four months after the third vaccination if they wish. However, a six-month break is recommended.
Vaccination expert Herwig Kollaritsch also recommends a booster vaccination four to six months after an infection, he explained in the Ö1 “Mittagsjournal” on Tuesday. Anyone who has been infected with corona without symptoms must receive another vaccination four to six months after the third bite.
Minister of Health does not yet have the “final version”
It was said of the department of Minister Johannes Rauch that the consultations in the NIG would still be ongoing. “We don’t have a final version yet. We expect that in the coming days,” said spokesman Thomas Neubauer. When the update is available, it will be “actively communicated”.
The press spokesman for the Vienna City Councilor for Health, Peter Hacker, briefly summarized the currently valid recommendations on Twitter – for anyone who does not want to read “39 pages of the NIG”, as Mario Dujakovic writes.
Dujakovic justifies this with the experience of the information policy of the turquoise-green government: “It has to be clear, understandable and understandable, otherwise people don’t go because they don’t know the way.”
