For countries with low vax rates.
Austria had levelled off at 67% 1 dose and 64% 2 doses in the total population a few days ago, one of the lowest rates in Western Europe. Austria, for some reason, has had an abnormally high amount of influence from anti-vaxxers in it’s politcial sphere, the third biggest party in parliament is a far right party which has promoted anti-vaccine views, and a single issue anti vaccine party gained seats at the last election too. But these latest announcements have thankfully caused a spike in vaccinations in the last few days.
For comparison Australia is at 77% one dose and 70% two. This equates to 91% and 85% of over 16s. And climbing steadily whereas Austria levelled out well below.
