In the future, members of the German Bundeswehr will no longer have to show proof of a corona vaccination. A technical investigation has shown that a step has been taken from the obligation to tolerate to a voluntary vaccination offer, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday.
Soldiers must be vaccinated against a wide range of diseases unless there are specific health reasons against it. These include hepatitis, measles, rubella, mumps and influenza. On November 24, 2021, the Ministry of Defense included a Covid-19 vaccination as mandatory in the general regulations of the central timetable ‘Vaccination and other prophylactic measures’.
Since then, there has been a so-called obligation to tolerate this vaccination. Anyone who opposes the vaccination schedule without medical or legal justification should expect disciplinary action or legal consequences.
Federal Administrative Court deals with mandatory vaccination
This Wednesday, the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig is also negotiating the mandatory corona vaccination in the Bundeswehr. The applicant, a soldier, had already objected to the inclusion of the Covid-19 vaccination in the basic vaccination program of the Bundeswehr and considers its retention unlawful under the current circumstances.
Almost two years ago, the court ruled in a ruling in principle that the start of the Covid-19 vaccination was legal. At the same time, she had asked the Ministry of Defense to evaluate and monitor the enforcement of vaccination in the light of changing circumstances.
