Austrians are reluctant
In Austria, there is growing resistance to vaccinations. According to a survey published in December, only 17% of Austrians definitely intend to be vaccinated. The federal government has ruled out compulsory inoculation an idea floated Markus Söder, the state premier of the neighboring German state of Bavaria. By January 15, just over 84,000 doses had been administered in Austria.
Swedes are broadly skeptical about vaccinations. In 2009, for example, about 5 million people, roughly half of the population, were vaccinated against swine flu, but many children and adults younger than 30 experienced adverse side effects from the Pandemrix jab, developed by the British pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline.
