Austria makes Covid vaccination COMPULSORY for all over-18s
As of today, vaccination against Covid-19 is compulsory for anyone over the age of 18 in Austria.
The new rule has over the past months garnered outrage from far-right extremists as the country's new domestic intelligence chief on Friday said foreign activists were coming to Austria to 'network' and hold 'meetings' with like-minded campaigners.
It is the first European country to take such a measure, whereas previously mandates across the world have been introduced for the elderly, vulnerable or medical staff.
