12月1日，欧盟委员会主席乌苏拉·冯德莱恩建议欧盟成员国考虑强制接种新冠疫苗。“我们如何鼓励并可能考虑在欧盟范围内强制接种疫苗，这需要讨论，”冯德莱恩在比利时布鲁塞尔的新闻发布会上说。“这需要一个共同的方法，但我认为这是一个必须领导的讨论。”SARS-CoV-2感染在欧洲激增。欧洲疾病预防和控制中心将22个国家的情况列为高度或非常高度关注。捷克共和国和邻国斯洛伐克宣布进入紧急状态。在截至12月5日的两周内，欧盟和欧洲经济区报告了约380万新冠肺炎病例，约27000人死亡。截至12月6日，同一地区已检测到182例omicron变异体（B）感染。1.1. 529），另有336例感染在英国登记。在《柳叶刀传染病》付印之际，没有足够的数据来计算COVID-19疫苗对omicron变体的有效性，或衡量其传播性或导致严重疾病的潜力。但到12月第一周结束时，还没有确认与新变种相关的死亡病例。在冯德莱恩发表上述言论的几天前，英国卫生大臣萨吉德·贾韦德表示，“接种疫苗应该是一个积极的选择”。他补充说，强制接种疫苗不是“（英国政府）永远不会考虑的事情”。81%的12岁及以上的英国人接受了这两种剂量
On Dec 1, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen advised the member states of the EU to consider mandatory vaccination against COVID-19.“How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the EU, this needs discussion”, said von der Leyen, in a press conference in Brussels, Belgium.“This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be led.” SARS-CoV-2 infections are surging in Europe. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control classifies the situation in 22 countries as being of high or very high concern. The Czech Republic and neighbouring Slovakia have declared states of emergency. In the 2 weeks until Dec 5, some 3· 8 million new cases of COVID-19 were reported in the EU and European Economic Area, with around 27 000 deaths. As of Dec 6, the same region had detected 182 infections with the omicron variant (B. 1.1. 529), with a further 336 infections registered in the UK. As The Lancet Infectious Diseases went to press, there were insufficient data to calculate the COVID-19 vaccines’ effectiveness against the omicron variant, or to gauge its transmissibility or potential for causing severe disease. But by the end of the first week of December, there had been no confirmed deaths associated with the new variant. A few days before von der Leyen’s remarks, UK Secretary of State for Health Sajid Javed stated that “taking a vaccine should be a positive choice”. He added that mandatory vaccination was not “something [the British Government] would ever look at”. 81% of British people aged 12 years and older have received both doses
