Origin
2022 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, paragraph 4, replace the last two sentences with the following sentences:

"Referring to its Resolution 2361 (2021), the Assembly reiterates that Council of Europe member States and the European Union should ensure that citizens are informed that vaccination is not mandatory and that no one is under political, social or other pressure to be vaccinated if they do not wish to do so. They should also ensure that no one is discriminated against for not having been vaccinated, due to possible health risks or not wanting to be vaccinated."

Explanatory note

This is the version suggested in the Rapporteur’s original draft. It conveys much more effectively the message that, in the view of the Assembly, vaccination should not be mandatory.
