Many countries around the world are either imposing a vaccine pass requirement on their citizens or are urging people working in certain fields to be vaccinated.
But there are only a few countries where the entire population is being vaccinated According to the AFP news agency, Ecuador is the first country in South America where coronavirus vaccination was made mandatory in December for the entire population, including children over the age of five.
In July, two Central Asian states, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, made it mandatory for people over the age of 18 to be vaccinated.
Vaccination was also made mandatory in Indonesia in February last year, but by early 2022, less than half the population had been vaccinated.
Micronesian states in the Pacific announced in July that people over the age of 18 would be vaccinated.
Austria will be the first country in the European Union to make vaccination mandatory for people over the age of 14 on Friday, with a ڈالر 670 fine for failure to do so.
