Kolikova: Mandatory vaccination against Covid-19 not a problem in legal terms

Justice Minister Maria Kolikova said on Wednesday that she views the possible introduction of mandatory vaccination against Covid-19 as a political issue, remarking that she doesn't consider it to be a problem from a legal point of view. "In terms of legality, I see room for making vaccination mandatory," Kolikova said. "After all, it's already been introduced in other countries, and vaccination against some diseases is already mandatory in this country," she said, noting that if there was anything that could be at odds with the constitution, it would be making this kind of vaccination mandatory based on an individual's age or profession.
