The question opened after the case of the five health workers who had not vaccinated and are now positive for Coronavirus in Treviso and that of the 15 nurses of the San Martino hospital in Genoa who also refused the anti Covid vaccine and are also them, positive results.
Thus an investigation was opened and Inail is thinking of not giving any compensation for an accident at work to those health workers who deliberately refuse to be vaccinated. The employee will therefore be considered in simple illness, but not in an accident at work, as had instead been decided in the course of 2020 for health personnel.
But – underline from Inail – in the past year there were still no vaccines (the first doses arrived on December 27).
The knot is not easy to unravel, also because there is a whole issue of sensitive information and according to the Privacy Guarantor, the employer cannot ask his employees whether they are vaccinated or not, and cannot even ask the doctor. However, the vaccine is not mandatory. There are then those who propose to make it so at least for health personnel, but even on this point nothing has yet been defined (up to January, the cases of Covid of professional origin reported to Inail were 147 thousand).
The Inail investigation is in its infancy, but it will be necessary to clarify the steps well because the battle is still long.
