Vaccination obligation, WHO: “We consider it a last resort”

The vaccination obligation should be a “temporary” measure and the WHO considers it “as a last resort”. This is the warning launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), while some countries have already introduced, and others could soon, the mandatory vaccine against Covid. “Many hesitant people have sincere doubts that need to be answered,” warned Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO’s emergency program, according to which the vaccination requirement should be “clear, explicit and limited in time,” as well as “accompanied by appropriate communication and clarification of risks”. In essence, “we consider mandatory as the last resort”, reiterated Ryan, urging governments to balance the benefits of vaccination with “the limitations on individual rights and freedoms”.
