Italian Prime Minister Considers Mandatory Vaccination

Italian prime minister Mario Draghi said “yes” when asked by press Thursday if he would consider forcing people to be vaccinated by law in order to help the country reach its 80-percent immunisation target, EUobserver reports.

Some 63 percent of adult Italians have had two jabs so far. “The obligation in our country already exists for health personnel, so … it already applies to part of society,” health minister Roberto Speranza said.
