From February Austria wants to get serious: Anyone over 14 years old has to be vaccinated against Corona. The Austrian government announced this last week.
This can create new jobs, as the example of Linz shows. The city has a good 200,000 inhabitants and is the capital of the federal state of Upper Austria and has the lowest vaccination rate in the entire state. According to data from the e-vaccination card, only 63 percent of residents have been vaccinated twice.
Linz now wants to engage people who are supposed to control vaccination refusals, as reported “today”. They should check whether those who do not get vaccinated are really paying for it. Because whoever does not get vaccinated will be asked to pay. Up to 3600 euros, the equivalent of a good 3740 francs.
The vaccination inspectors receive a wage of at least 2774 euros, the equivalent of around 2880 francs. The salary is paid 14 times a year.
The job includes, among other things, creating penalties as well as processing appeals. A completed Matura is required in the job profile. In addition, the hunters should be resilient and willing to work. Specifically: ready to work more overtime!
