The Vienna City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker (SPÖ) now speaks plain language and is in favor of a 2G rule in the workplace.
According to the Vienna City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker (SPÖ), the mandatory vaccination, which starts in February, must apply to everyone – including employees. The currently envisaged 3G rule at work is not enough, the 58-year-old clarified in “ATV Aktuell”.
“If there is a compulsory vaccination, the 3G rule ends at some point. Because: Either there is a compulsory vaccination or there isn’t. What I do not believe is compulsory vaccination on the basis of voluntariness. That’s a joke. That makes you feel the people in Austria rolled a bit. And I wouldn’t understand that either, “explains Hacker.
“That is probably logical”
In addition, the mandatory vaccination with three stitches should only apply from the age of 18, according to the Vienna City Councilor for Health. Anchoring an off-label vaccination in a mandatory vaccination is not an option. Hacker: “If we have not approved a third vaccination at the moment, then you cannot base it on an obligation to vaccinate. That is probably logical.”
And further: “Based on my understanding of the law, it is not possible to force people to have an off-label vaccination.” The conversation with the Vienna City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker can be seen this Wednesday at 7.20 p.m. on ATV.
Disagreement on compulsory vaccination
In any case, political support for mandatory vaccination is crumbling, and there is also disagreement in the Chamber of Commerce. General Secretary Karlheinz Kopf wants to postpone the upcoming vaccination requirement, because not all means have been exhausted. You could also scare off skilled workers from abroad.
Gastro boss Mario Pulker sees the situation very differently! Unvaccinated people allowed the corona pandemic to progress and “are driving our operations to the verge of ruin”. Many questions about the mandatory vaccination are still open for the hoteliers, but in the long term the obligation will be necessary, they say.
