Many countries or regions have introduced compulsory vaccinations for certain types of populations:

Parliament has not yet approved the move.
– : On May 16, the mayor of Moscow ordered a mandatory vaccination of employees in the service sector if President Vladimir Putin opposes a duty at the national level.
