Vaccination against COVID-19 may become mandatory. Minister said that the government will consider draft amendments to the Criminal Code soon to introduce a separate article for forgery of COVID-certificates.
“I suppose” – the minister said, answering the question of the host of the program “Svoboda Slova” (“Freedom of Speech”) on ICTV on the evening of September 20, UA reports.
“Vaccination is free and voluntary today. The possibility of introducing certain categories of professions into the decreed is also considered. This is a contingent that can come to work after a full course of vaccination against certain infectious diseases. Such options are being considered, but we have taken the experience of the EU and the US: when restrictions are introduced, but they do not be used for vaccinated people” – Liashko said.
According to him, the priority will be given to people over 60, as 82% of all deaths are in this category.
Liashko noted, more than 99% of deaths from COVID-19 in Ukraine were recorded among those who were not vaccinated. According to Minister Viktor Liashko, the epidemic situation in Ukraine is currently “under control”.
