Outside of the U.S., it is becoming increasingly normal for masks and the coronavirus vaccine to be fully mandated. Those who reject the mandates face imprisonment.
In Austria, a vaccine mandate is instituted for all people or they face heavy fines. The unvaccinated may also face potential prison time in Austria.
Even if you are vaccinated, you become considered unvaccinated again if you do not take a booster dose within six months.
In Germany, incoming Chancellor Olaf Scholz says a vaccine should be mandated for all German residents.
He blames the unvaccinated for the surge in Chinese coronavirus cases in the country.
“I will vote for it,” Scholz said.
“My suggestion is that the time by which everyone has been vaccinated is not too far away, so my suggestion: early February or early March,” he said.

“What we need is a legislative procedure in which every member of parliament votes according to his conscience on a general vaccination obligation,” he said.
“It is the case that the fact that there are so many who have not been vaccinated is the reason why we have a problem today as a whole country.”
Scholz is the leader of the left-wing Social Democratic Party of Germany.
Some polls indicate that a majority of people in certain nations support mandatory vaccinations.
