Public Health Wales have started putting out messaging that the covid vaccine won't be mandatory. Perhaps as a way of circumventing antivax frothers.
It says something that we don't actually have a vaccine but it's still felt necessary to reassure people that we won't be making them have the vaccine that we don't have yet.

Vaccines will be non-mandatory, but countries (for example) will insist on vaccination certificates before allowing entry*. So the anti vax people won't be able to travel, which seems a good thing all round really.
*some counties already do this for yellow fever, for example.

No need to make it mandatory, private entreprise will ensure it becomes de-facto mandatory eg Quantas requiring proof before they allow you on planes for international travel.
I can imagine big entertainment chains asking such a thing before allowing people on premises where Covid restrictions will be lifted...

Once the priority cases are dealt with, health services will have to scale back the rate of vaccination so they can offer it alongside their normal services, which I believe will be unavoidably reduced initially as too great a proportion of the nursing staff will be required to jab people.

So under the new UK rules, in Tiers 1 and 2 you can only meet friends and family in groups of up to six -- except if you all meet up for a sports event where you could theoretically see all* your friends and family simultaneously?
Presuming you know fewer than 2,000 people.

Somehow this seems unsurprising for 2020:
