VIENNA -- Austria's parliament voted Thursday to introduce a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for adults from Feb. 1, the first of its kind in Europe.
Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein, speaking in parliament Thursday afternoon, called the measure a"big, and, for the first time, also lasting step" in Austria's fight against the pandemic. Chancellor Karl Nehammer's governing coalition worked with two of the three opposition parties in parliament on the plan to implement the mandate. It calls for the vaccine mandate to go into effect at the beginning of February, but enforcement will start in March.
