Lawmakers from Germany’s ruling coalition sealed a deal on proposed legislation that would require people aged 60 and older to get vaccinated against Covid-19 from October.
The agreement between senior members of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party, the Greens and the Free Democrats, which could still change before it’s voted through parliament, includes the option of making Covid shots mandatory for everyone aged 18 or older if the development of the pandemic this fall warrants it, according to a paper published late Tuesday.
