Ukraine's health ministry has proposed expanding the list of occupations for which Covid-19 vaccinations will be compulsory to cover medical personnel and municipal employees, Reuters reports

The government already obliges teachers and employees of state institutions and local governments to receive vaccinations, without which they face being suspended from work.

The new list of roles that will require vaccination will include medical staff, municipal workers and employees of municipal companies, health minister Viktor Lyashko said.
