Austria: Flu vaccine supply delayed, 1.7M doses ordered, 12% more than last year

Austrian health authorities announced influenza vaccines will be available by season start, with vulnerable groups prioritized due to delivery delays. A long-term vaccination rate target of 75% for risk groups was set, and 1.7 million doses were ordered, 12% more than last year. The delay and prioritization suggest potential supply constraints, but the increased order indicates preparation for higher demand.
