During the meeting, President Duda expresses his clear stance on the vaccinations issue.
"I am absolutely against compulsory vaccination. I believe that this will cause social unrest, it is a matter of people's responsibility and everyone should bear this responsibility alone" - said Duda.
"Whether the parent decides to consent for the child being vaccinated, or whether the parent decides to vaccinate himself - everyone should make such a decision personally" - added the president.
At the same time, he emphasized that it was the obligation of the Polish state to provide everyone with the possibility of being vaccinated.
"We must have a vaccine for every citizen. It is our duty as state authorities - to create this possibility for everyone to be vaccinated, but not to force them" - said Duda.
