Out of the pandemic with the vaccine?

Professor Hahn, who teaches health law, among other subjects, at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and recently earned a second doctorate from the Medical Faculty at TU Dresden, has been observing the course of the COVID-19 pandemic from a legal perspective for two years now. In the past, he has also spoken out on several occasions in the general media on legal issues related to triage, restrictions on civil liberties, and vaccination. Most recently, for example, he was interviewed by the Sächsische Zeitung regarding the affixing of vaccination stickers for unapproved vaccines.

On December 2, 2021, Prof. Hahn was interviewed in the German and French editions of ARTE Journal about the EU Commission President's plans to introduce a Europe-wide general vaccination obligation. He takes a critical view of this, but can at least imagine a vaccination requirement for medical staff being a good idea. However, the competence for this currently lies with the EU member states.
