Blast from the past - EU Should Discuss Mandatory Vaccinations, says Von der Leyen
"If you look at the numbers, we have now 77% of the adults in the European Union vaccinated, or if you take the whole population, it's 66%. And this means one third of the European population is not vaccinated. These are 150 million people. This is a lot. And not each and everyone can be vaccinated, so there are very small children, for example, or people with special medical conditions, but the vast majority could."
"And, therefore, I think, it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now, how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination, within the European Union. This needs discussion. This needs, a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be led."
