The Austrian government has presented a bill on mandatory vaccination against COVID-19
The text was approved by a large majority, although it met with strong opposition from the Austrian public and sparked protests.

Austria became the first country in the European Union to take such a measure, BTA reported.
The bill was backed by conservatives, Greens, Social Democrats and Liberals, and opposed by opponents of vaccination from the far-right Austrian Freedom Party.
