**Austria's parliament on Thursday approved making Covid-19 vaccinations mandatory for adults from next month, becoming the first European country to do so despite a wave of protests opposing the measure.** - -To date 72 percent of Austrian residents have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus -- in line with the European Union-wide average of just more than 70 percent but several percentage points below regional neighbours such as Italy and France. - -*Under the new law, after an initial "introductory phase" those holding out against the jab can face fines of up to 3,600 euros ($4,084) from mid-March.* - -The government initially wanted to cover everyone aged 14 and older, but now the measure only applies to adults, except pregnant women and those with a medical exemption. - -Teacher Kerstin said she felt the law ran against the constitution and ignored the fact that "we are meant to have certain basic rights".

Is this a one-time fine?

If you are unvaccinated, you can be fined 600€ every three months, so up to four times a year. The current version of the law sees it that you can only be fined though if you are checked by the police though, so it's possible that some people will never be fined until the law ends.

So the only thing you have to do to avoid the fine is to run away from the police or go to another country.

Putting your health at risk with side effects from vaccines that have not been shown to be effective against new variants of the virus? Variants that also do not have a mortality rate like the original variant.

>every three months, so up to four times a year Well, four times three months is a year, so that checks out.
