Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on Sunday that country will be first in Europe to make Covid-19 vaccinations compulsory for adults in February. He acknowledged that this was a 'sensitive topic'.
Nehammer, a conservative who took office in December, said those who didn't comply would face a hefty fine.
"We will decide on compulsory vaccination as planned. It will come into force at the beginning of February" for adults, he told a news conference.
