BULLETIN: CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IN THE EU – FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS: VACCINE ROLLOUT AND EQUALITY OF ACCESS IN THE EU

– Bulletin by EU Fundamental Rights Agency, published on 16 June 2021, available here.

The bulletin highlights how deploying vaccines is essential for lifting restrictions on fundamental rights that the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights enshrines, such as the freedom of movement, the right to engage in employment and the right to education. Ensuring equitable access for all in the EU to an affordable (free) vaccine as early as possible is in line with the principle of non-discrimination in EU law.
