Austrians were pretty good at adhering to mask mandates early on in the pandemic and still do on public transport & within shops. It also has one of the highest testing rates in the world (we test 2-3 times a week) but there is a persistent 13% who absolutely refuse to get vaccinated (with a strong correlation with supporters of the FPÖ, their far-right party), and a small certain percentage who remain sceptical. Currently, Austria is 71% fully vaccinated and 75% with a 1st dose. Portugal has 89% fully vaccinated & 97% with a first dose. Both Portugal & Austria already allow 12+ to get vaccinated – my 13yr old is fully vaxxed – but these percentages only reflect the adult population. EU average is 73% fully vaccinated & 79% with the 1st vaccine, so Austria is slightly BELOW the EU average.
