Italy has made COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for people from the age of 50, one of very few European countries to take similar steps. COVID19 Italy

Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s government had already made vaccination mandatory for teachers and health workers, and since October last year, all employees have had to be vaccinated or show a negative test before entering the workplace.Wednesday’s decree toughens this up for workers over the age of 50 by removing the option of taking a test rather than vaccination. It was not immediately clear what the sanction would be for those flouting the rule, effective from February 15.

Ministers from the right-wing League issued a statement distancing themselves from the over-50 vaccine rule, calling it “without scientific foundation, considering that the absolute majority of those hospitalised with COVID-19 are well over 60.” Elsewhere in Europe, Austria has announced plans to make vaccination mandatory for those over 14-years-old from next month, while in Greece it will be compulsory for over-60s from Jan 16.
