Vaccinations for everyone: The discourse on financial hurdles is picking up speed!

Volksanese lawyer Bernhard Achitz and SPÖ public prosecutor spokesman Rudolf Silvan vehemently demand that the hurdles for those who want to be reduced. "We have to make the vaccinations easier available," says Silvan, who specifically stimulates public vaccination streets and an uncomplicated online date booking. The debates about the obligation to vaccinate have put on many people and it is high time to create incentives instead of relying on compulsion. Silvan emphasizes the need to make vaccinations affordable for everyone to close vaccine.

acitz adds that many people, especially seniors, cannot afford recommended vaccinations. An example of this is the belt rose protection that can be expensive. "The republic should cover the costs for recommended vaccinations," Silvan suggests and argues that this would make more sense, since the treatment costs for diseases such as cancer or blindness are considerably higher. This would also minimize the suffering of those affected, according to Silvan, as well as folklan lawyer Achitz confirmed.

free vaccinations as a solution

The initiative to make the HPV vaccination free of charge for everyone under 30 is considered an important step. Achitz mentions the persistently low vaccination rates against HPV and the increasing number of cases of measles and whooping cough and urges that all recommended vaccinations have to be available free of charge. "Health care should be affordable for everyone. Everyone has the right to protect themselves and others," Achitz says of the urgent in the healthcare sector. Simple access from public vaccination streets could also increase the acceptance of the vaccinations and thus contribute preventively to the health of the population, similar to the demands of Silvan, according to the reports of the OTS .
