In a health context that worsens with the days, compulsory vaccination is back at the center of the debates. In Germany or the European Commission, “discussions are open “.
Faced with the appearance of the first European cases of the Omicron variant and the onslaught of the fifth wave, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, opens the debate on compulsory vaccination: “We have to discuss this subject, it will take a common agreement, but the discussion must take place “. Austria has decided to impose vaccination on adults from February 2022 despite the demonstration of opponents.
Germany, for its part, is seriously considering it and the future chancellor, Olaf Scholz, announces that this will be discussed in Parliament before the end of 2021. Parliament is currently in favor of this measure. “The vaccine obligation is not the choice that France has decided to take. For different reasons and quite simply because an obligation envisages controls and sanctions “, explains Olivier Véran, Minister of Health. On French territory, only New Caledonia has decided to implement compulsory vaccination.
