In this country, the corona vaccination should remain voluntary. But compulsory vaccination, which some people fear, is not banned by a Council of Europe resolution.
Various sites report that a Council of Europe resolution prohibits any conceivable compulsory vaccination, which means that “discrimination” against unvaccinated people is not legal if, for example, an airline requires proof of vaccination.
But the Council of Europe resolution is only a recommendation, but not legally binding.
Because of the resolution, sharepics like this one are spreading:
Accordingly, on January 27, 2021, the Council of Europe decided in its resolution 2361/2021 that no one should be vaccinated under pressure against their will.
The Council of Europe Resolution
The resolution is publicly available online on the Parliamentary Assembly website ( see HERE ). It is titled “ Covid-19 vaccines: ethical, legal and practical considerations .”
It is now important where this resolution can be found, because the above-mentioned parliamentary assembly is not the Council of Europe itself, but the advisory body of the Council of Europe , which transmits its decisions in the form of recommendations to the Committee of Ministers ( see HERE , PDF file ).
This should be kept in mind when reading the following passage of that resolution. It says under points 7.3.1 and 7.3.2:
[7] The Assembly therefore calls on the member states and the European Union
[7.3] with a view to ensuring a high vaccination rate
[7.3.1] that citizens are informed that vaccination is NOT compulsory and that no one is put under political, social or other pressure to get vaccinated if they do not want to do so themselves
[7.3.2] to ensure that no one is discriminated against because they have not been vaccinated, because of possible health risks or because they do not want to be vaccinated.
It is important to note the wording of the opening sentence in point 7: “ The assembly calls on … ”, it is a request from the advisory body, but not a legally binding wording.
A simple comparison:
For example, if Dr. Christian Drosten is calling on the federal government to take tougher measures against the corona pandemic, then that is just a request, but it not legally binding because he only has an advisory role.
The Bundestag also announced in 2018 in a brief information ( see HERE , PDF file) that the resolutions of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe only have a recommendatory, but not legally binding, character.
Conclusion
There is no “compulsory vaccination” regarding the COVID-19 vaccination in this country, but if there is, it will not be prevented by this resolution.

There are terms that trigger reactions on social media all by themselves. Such as, for example, the terms vaccination and compulsory vaccination.
