Covid vaccines, WHO: “Obligation is not first choice”

The World Health Organization “encourages any measures to increase vaccination coverage, as long as they are legally and socially acceptable”. And mandatory vaccination “should not be the first choice”. The WHO director general for Europe Hans Henri Kluge says this in an interview with Euronews broadcast tonight. Because, explains Kluge, “first we must try to understand what’s in people’s heads, and interact with communities that hesitate to get vaccinated. We have a lot of experience – he adds – with behavioral analysis to convince people, using influencers, looking at those who hesitate and think about who can influence them, in a dialogue “.
