So over here they're starting to mandate the vaccine at workplaces and colleges/Unis etc. Is that happening anywhere else? |

UK vaccination rates seem to have stagnated. Many EU countries are now ahead of us. |

It is also being mandated at certain workplaces in Oz also, Caroline, in certain workplaces. This is mainly an imitative of large employers such as Rio Tinto and Qantas |

After the Feds said earlier this week all their workers had to be vaccinated then the flood gates have opened. Now provincial and local authority workers have to be. Most hospitals and public transit have jumped on the wagon. Big banks are starting and the local head doctor has announced in her opinion all employers with over 1000 workers should mandate it. Some unions are against it. |

The biggest hurdle here, Caroline, was the Industrial Relations laws and what employers can and can't ask workers to do, but, sensibly, the Unions backed the Employers requirements. |

Basically the same here Allan, hence they were all waiting for the Feds to start I think. I can see it being challenged here for sure. |

Not here yet I don't think Except a local horticultural college has stated that students will not be allowed to live on campus unless vaccinated. that is a first for colleges universities etc so waiting to see what happens. (talk of legal action already). |

Are they not bringing it in for care staff? |

Not in Oz, at least for now, despite the number of cases and deaths in aged care facilities :-( |

Recently the French brought out a chart showing they were the most vaccinated. But they had removed several countries that were above them. |

I found Macrons COVID chart again and he had removed the top three countries (Spain, Canada and UK) to show France on the top spot. |

That is an interesting list. Many of those places are very small with small populations, where everyone knows everyone else) therefore making it easier to reach everyone. |

So many charts from so many countries some of which try and mislead for whatever reason.....but back to the thread as such....more reason for mandating the vaccine when you have good but not great numbers. |
