The Austrian National Vaccination Panel recommends the use of Astra Zeneca's vaccine in the 18-64 age group.
For the 65+ age group, immunologic and safety data are comparable to those for younger individuals.
Due to the small group size and the low number of cases of disease, it is not possible at this time to make a safe prognosis for this age group.
Information about authorised Covid-19 vaccines and those under evaluation can be found on the website of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
