Public vaccination services in Vorarlberg
Overview
In Vorarlberg, the state has expanded public immunization services by opening a second vaccination center in Rankweil to complement the existing facility in Dornbirn. These centers provide vaccinations for Covid-19, measles, mumps, and rubella, with influenza vaccinations scheduled to become available in late October.
Certain groups, including students and high-risk individuals, can access specific vaccinations free of charge. While the centers do not provide booster shots or travel medicine consultations, they serve as a hub for public health services.
Following the expansion of physical services, there has been an increase in citizens utilizing the electronic vaccination pass (E-Impfpass) to digitize immunization records. Residents are also using the centers to conduct vaccination pass checks to identify gaps in their immunization status. At the federal level, efforts are being made to enhance this digital system with future features such as automated reminders for necessary booster shots.
