Vaccination fatigue: alarming numbers for whooping cough and measles!
Wien, Österreich - Austria is faced with alarming low vaccination rates in 2024, which are called "underground to grotto bad". This was highlighted by Gerhard Kobinger by the Austrian Chamber of Pharmacists at a press conference in Vienna. The immunization figures are shocking: When it comes to whooping cough vaccination, Austria takes last place within the EU. This led to over 13,000 whooping cough cases in 2024. The measles cases are also increasing, where 500 children alone are ill because many have received no or inadequate vaccination protection.
The main reasons for the vaccination fatigue are widespread false information about vaccination damage and skepticism compared to vaccinations during pregnancy. Currently, new, improved vaccines, including against meningococci and pneumococci, are in preparation, whereby a Lyme disease vaccine is also under development, such as Ursula Wiedermann-schmidt At the same time, an intensive program for clarifying and increasing trust in vaccinations is planned, whereby doctors and pharmacists are supposed to play a key role.vaccination education and future events

The day is shaped by experts to present the digital communication channels for vaccination education and innovative vaccine developments. The goal is to better achieve younger generations through digital platforms and online offers, emphasized Wiedermann-Schmidt.
