“Vaccination programmes for Covid-19: Public views and experiences in Israel and Austria” When it comes to vaccination for Covid-19, it seems, Israel and Austria could not be more different: Vaccination programmes are progressing at very different paces, and vaccine skepticism is differently distributed as well. What are the reasons for this? And is everything really as different as it seems at first sight? Two experts in the sociology of health and vaccination policy respectively will answer these and any other questions that participants may have.

Welcome: Prof Dr Mitchell Ash, President Center for Israel Studies Vienna
