COVID-19: Compulsory vaccination for workers in the medical field?

Now that the majority of medical personnel have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or are at least willing to be vaccinated, it is necessary to discuss whether employees can be required to be vaccinated. Can employers demand proof of vaccination, and are there consequences under labor law for refusing to vaccinate? Currently, there is no general legal COVID-19 vaccination requirement. Any mandatory vaccination is an encroachment on the fundamental right to physical integrity and to informational self-determination. This encroachment on fundamental rights must be weighed up in each individual case. Thieme. All rights reserved.
