We’d like to hear what people think of plans for vaccine mandates and other Covid restrictions in these countries

From 1 February 2022, Austria will be introducing compulsory vaccines for all, with exemption for those unable to receive a jab on medical grounds. The decision comes after a low uptake of the vaccine and the rise of Covid-19 cases in Austria.

Germany is set to tighten rules for the unvaccinated as cases rise, while the Greens are pushing for a vaccine mandate for individuals who work in care homes or hospitals. A growing number of leaders in federal and state politics are now in favour of a vaccine mandate for the general population.

Also, in Switzerland, there will be a referendum on 28 November to decide on the use of the Swiss Covid-19 certificate, which would have to be shown on entry to some public venues based on vaccination status or proof of a negative test.

We’d like to hear what people from these countries think of the plans. What’s your view on mandatory vaccines?
