The upper house of parliament today approved by a majority of votes the decision to make coronavirus vaccines mandatory for adults in Austria.
The vote in the Bundesrat, which represents the provinces of Austria, comes two weeks after the National Council, the lower house, gave its approval.
Austria is the first European country to mandate coronavirus vaccination for people over the age of 18, with a few exceptions. Italy and Greece have introduced compulsory vaccination for senior citizens.
Implementation of the decision in Austria will be done in stages. For example, random checks will be performed from March 15 onwards.
Penalties for violations can reach up to 600 euros ($ 675). If those affected appeal and lose, they could face fines of up to 3,600 euros at the end of the proceedings. Administrative courts are expected to have a flood of appeals.
