COVID: Most EU countries back partial va • Table.Briefings

Austria was the first EU country to adopt a general COVID-19 vaccination requirement. In other countries, however, a partial vaccine mandate for certain occupational and/or age groups is much more likely. In Germany, the discussion about a general vaccine requirement recently picked up steam again. However, the outcome is uncertain.

As of February, a general COVID-19 vaccination requirement will apply in Austria for all citizens over the age of 18. Parliament approved the Austrian government’s bill a few days ago with a broad majority. Pregnant women, convalescents up to 180 days after contracting the disease, and people with a medical certificate are exempt from the vaccination requirement.
