19 vaccine mandate, making it compulsory for the country's residents over
the age of 18 to get the shot.
The law goes into effect February 1. However, Austrian officials will only
begin conducting checks to see if the mandate is being adhered to from March
15. Starting then, those without a vaccine certificate or an exemption
could be slapped with initial fines of 600 euro ($680).
Pregnant people and those who cannot be vaccinated without endangering their
health are exempt from the law, according to the Austrian Health Ministry's
website. People who are recovering from a Covid-19 infection are also
exempt for 180 days from the date they received their first positive PCR
Covid-19 test.
The bill passed by a vote of 137-33. Lawmakers debated for more than seven
hours in parliament before the vote, in which 13 MPs did not participate. |
