EMEA: COVID-19 Follow-up Vaccination Guide – Vaccination Incentive

While the national vaccination campaigns have made considerable progress lately, there are still many people who have not yet been vaccinated, some of whom are hesitant to receive the vaccine at all. At the same time, discussions emerge whether and when a follow-up vaccination of already vaccinated people might be required. Against this background and encouraged by the positive feedback on the first edition published in March 2021, we have updated our guide on vaccination incentives, including the key legal aspects to be considered (e.g., equal treatment principle, proof of vaccination). Colleagues from 28 countries provide their views on the elementary legal aspects involved with introducing and implementing employer incentives in return for a COVID-19 vaccination.
