More than 200,000 people in Vienna have already registered for the vaccination against the corona virus and can often hardly wait to receive it. The vaccine continues to scare others. In this respect, rumors about an alleged mandatory vaccination for AUA employees caused unrest at the domestic Lufthansa subsidiary on Monday.
When asked by the “press”, however, the company stated that there would be no obligation to vaccinate. Neither for employees nor for passengers. It is true that the company wants to offer all those willing to vaccinate a vaccination through the company doctors as soon as possible. The procedure was also described in an internal communication to the workforce. It was also read that the vaccination date for the flight personnel is entered in the duty roster.
A sentence that may have been misinterpreted by some. “Of course, the vaccination date is only entered for those who have previously registered for it,” says AUA spokeswoman Tanja Gruber. Since pilots are not allowed to fly 48 hours after the vaccination, the specific date of the vaccination must be coordinated with the duty roster. Therefore, it is also registered there. (jaz)
