In the states of Carinthia, Styria and Burgenland, the government and medical agencies are conducting a large-scale vaccination preparation. Some clinics will also offer vaccination services.

The situation of A/H1N1 influenza is not optimistic in Austria. The number of new patients increases every day. Austrian health experts admit that the A/H1N1 "virus has already penetrated the country."
