In the EU, Pfizer – Biontech, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines were ordered to be distributed to members in proportion to their population. Not a single ‘cent’ was received from EU citizens in excess of 500 million in the purchase and vaccination of vaccines.

In Germany, both are free: Germany is the leader in vaccination compared to its population, and the number of people who have received both doses has approached 60 percent of the population. No matter what vaccine you get, it’s all free to those in this country. There’s no citizenship requirement. You can choose the vaccine you want. The examination is free, the vaccine is free, and the vaccine passport sent to homes is also free. In vaccine centers, square codes were sent to the homes of those who were vaccinated for a digital vaccine passport. Everyone’s digital vaccine passport is ready on their mobile phones. The shortage of pre-travel testing or quarantine is over. Those with an old-style vaccine passport pay the pharmacist if they want to change it at pharmacies. In addition, the costs of diseases caused by the vaccine are also covered by the state.

Switzerland is both inside and out: Switzerland has also offered its citizens a free vaccination service to anyone who is legally in the country. Half of the vaccination costs were covered by health coffers and half by cantons. Citizens located outside Switzerland were also provided with free vaccination. The legal ground was laid and the Swiss, who wished, received free vaccination abroad.

Free to everyone in Austria: Austria provided free vaccination to everyone in the country, not just its own citizen. And it continues to provide. There is no distinction between citizen – foreign – immigrant – asylum seekers in those who are vaccinated.

Free in the UK: the UK has also used BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, including AstraZeneca, which are produced in its own country. Everyone in the country was vaccinated without charge.
