Vaccination damage in Austria: 735 applications approved - what does that mean?

In Austria, a total of 21.5 million vaccine doses were administered as part of the Corona vaccination campaign by the end of 2023. Of these vaccinations, only 0.01 percent led to an application according to the Vaccination Hall Act, as reported. A total of 2,324 applications for compensation have been submitted since the start of the vaccination campaign, 735 of which were approved. These approved applications include 316 unique package payments and 78 ongoing or temporary pension payments.

compensation in Germany

In Germany, only 1,630 applications have been made for compensation in Germany since the beginning of Corona vaccinations, although a total of 162.5 million vaccinations have been administered. This picture shows an [analysis of the Tagesspiegel] (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/nur-1600-auf-stieldie-be- be-162-million-vaccinations-8017666.html), from which most applications from Bavaria (295), North Rhine-Westphalia (188) and Lower Saxony (127) come. Only 15 applications were made in Bremen.

The examination processes for these applications are comprehensive and often time -consuming, since specialist reports are often required. So far, only a few of the 1,630 applications have been assessed: at least 25 were approved, while 41 were rejected. Vaccination damage is defined as a health and economic consequence of a vaccination reaction that goes beyond the usual extent, whereby frequent vaccination reactions such as headaches are not included.

recognition of vaccination damage

Over the past few months, the situation in Germany has also developed. By the beginning of April 2025, at least 573 cases of permanent corona vaccination damage were recognized, which is based on a comprehensive data collection from the nationwide supply offices, as the Tagesschau reported. In total, more than 14,000 applications for recognition of vaccination damage have been received, of which the recognition quota is 6.2 percent. Around 2,000 objection procedures are still pending nationwide.

The definition of vaccination damage includes the health and economic consequences of health damage through vaccination, whereby the damage must usually exist for at least six months. After the use of the respective report, those affected are entitled to treatment, rehabilitation or pension payments. In addition, the constant vaccination commission gave a recommendation for corona vaccinations, which increases the complexity of the topic.
