Summary
The purpose of the article is to determine whether mandatory vaccination is permissible and justified in military service, paying special attention to the justification of the infringement of fundamental rights. The author concludes that the existing mandatory obligation of soldiers to be vaccinated against Covid-19 complies with the methodology of examination of restrictions on fundamental rights established in the practice of the Constitutional Court and the ECHR, including the principle of proportionality, and thus is recognized as justifiable infringement under Articles 96, 101 and 111 of the Constitution.
