Austrian Constitutional Minister Karoline Edtstadler and Health Minister Wolfgang Muckstein revealed steps to pass the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination bill and its subsequent enforcement, in Vienna on Tuesday.

Edtstadler said that in view of the past 20 months since the beginning of the pandemic, the situation in hospitals and intensive care units had dramatised to such an extent that compulsory vaccination was necessary, even if “we did not want this.”

Muckstein added that after eight billion doses administered worldwide, the COVID vaccination has turned out to be the “best-studied vaccine ever.”

Edtstadler said that although the draft law was an encroachment on the right to private and family life, which was stated in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the draft could be implemented due to the current pandemic situation.

SOT, Karoline Edtstadler, Austrian People’s Party (OVP) Minister for Constitutional Affairs (German): “Now that we have already dealt with the issue of mandatory vaccination, we should discuss what the requirements are for mandatory vaccination to be implemented in law and constitutionally and, of course, to last. Let me say once again in all clarity: we did not want this, we did not want mandatory vaccination. I would like to make it quite clear that we are in a situation that is only dramatic 20 months after the beginning of the pandemic, if we also look at the intensive care units and the hospitals.”

SOT, Karoline Edtstadler, Austrian People’s Party (OVP) Minister for Constitutional Affairs (German): “Mandatory vaccination can be justified if the goal, namely general health protection, can be achieved by a measure that is effective, and that is vaccination. Now we need science to tell us: does this vaccination work? That is what we have asked today. What preconditions do we need, also from a partial legal point of view, for it to be effective? Because I would also like to point out that the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that compulsory vaccination is an encroachment on human rights, specifically on respect for private and family life according to Article 8 of the Convention on Human Rights. But this fundamental right is subject to influence, so that a legal obligation to vaccinate can be imposed.”

SOT, Wolfgang Muckstein, Austrian Health Minister and Greens member (German): “We are learning that the vaccination in any case protects against severe courses, we are learning that the vaccination is safe, we know that in the meantime. We have already vaccinated over 11 million doses in Austria, almost eight billion worldwide, which means that the coronavirus vaccine is the best-studied vaccine ever. It is a safe vaccine and it reliably protects against severe courses and against deaths.”

SOT, Wolfgang Muckstein, Austrian Health Minister and Greens member (German): “From December 6, there will be a draft law, there will be an ordinary review period of at least four weeks and it will come into force from the first of February.”
