600 Fines: What''s The Latest On Austria''s Compulsory Vaccine Plan? By The Local Austria''s planned vaccine mandate law will take a step towards becoming reality this week, and will reportedly apply from the age of 14, with fines of 600 which can be issued multiple times. Several of Austrias major national newspapers including the Kurier , Die Presse, Heute and Der Standard claimed to have seen a copy of the draft law, though the Ministry of Health declined to comment on it when asked by broadcaster ORF , saying an official first draft will be submitted later this week. According to the media reports, the law will come into effect on February 1st but fines will not be issued until March 15th, allowing people the chance to get vaccinated after the law becomes reality. The government has however repeatedly urged Austrian residents not to wait until the mandate to get their jab. Reminder letters inviting people to vaccination would be sent by the Ministry of Health in February; similar letters have already been sent out by social insurance agencies.

The immune response in people who received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccines from Astra Zeneca and Biontech / Pfizer with Moderna was higher, according to a large British study. "We found a really good immune response overall actually higher than the threshold set by the two doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine," Matthew Snape, an Oxford professor who led a study called Com-COV2, told Reuters. If the Astra Zeneca vaccine is followed by the Moderna or Novavax vaccine, the number of antibodies and T cells is higher than with two doses of Astra Zeneca, the researchers found. The study, which involved 1,070 volunteers, also showed that one dose of the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine was followed by Moderna or Novavax. The results are good news, especially for lower-income countries that cannot afford a broad enough portfolio of vaccines, Reuters added. /Dnevnik
