The head of the EC spoke out for the discussion of the introduction of compulsory vaccination in the EU

According to her, 77% of the adult population are vaccinated in the EU countries.

She noted that one third of the European population is not vaccinated.

Von der Leyen added that young children and people with a medical qualification cannot be vaccinated.

“But the overwhelming majority can.

Therefore, I think it would be understandable and appropriate to hold this discussion now, how we can encourage and potentially think about compulsory vaccination in the EU, ”said the head of the EC.

Earlier, the head of the EC announced the need to adapt the Pfizer vaccine to the omicron strain.
