After the first symbolic vaccinations of the V-Day, weeks begin in which, once the vials arrive from Pfizer, the vaccine should be administered to a larger number of people. The first will be doctors and health personnel, all up voluntary basis. It is above all those who work in homes for the elderly who say no to the Covid vaccine.
According to the Undersecretary of Health, Sandra Zampa, “for those who work in the health sector, the vaccine must be a precondition for taking it».
In Italy, however, there is no obligation, for now, not even for these categories.
The fear is that many do not want to do it in the RSA (in the province of Brescia, for example, only 20% of workers have joined), putting the people housed at risk, but also within the public health sector and the ministry thinks about the possible compulsory nature. Data from the ministry indicate that 70% of health personnel adhere to vaccination.
“Those who work in the public and in contact with the public have a greater responsibility,” said the undersecretary a Republic, «For this we have included some categories of state employees among the first for vaccinations. I am not only referring to health personnel, I am also speaking of teachers: it is a matter of common sense. Before the pandemic, we introduced compulsory vaccinations for school-age children, without which they would not have been admitted to school. I don’t see why Covid shouldn’t be thought of as well, especially for teachers. In the public employment contract I would put it as a precondition for hiring ».
“I believe that compulsoriness may be a precondition for those who work in the public. You cannot stay in an RSA where you should work for the health of the people who are hosted there, and put their health at risk”.@ champa56 #now #specialeagorarai pic.twitter.com/ME3VRnqvc1

The concept was reiterated by the undersecretary this morning to Agora on Rai 3. «Starting to discuss the obligation would do further damage. Today we must have the patience to explain, the communication campaign is starting. I believe it must be a precondition for those who work in the public. If we were to realize that there is a rejection that cannot be overcome, I think that in the public we cannot work ».
Also the Deputy Minister of Health, Pierpaolo Sileri, wand how many, including doctors and nurses, do not want to be vaccinated. “I am perplexed when I hear of fellow doctors or nurses reluctant to get the vaccine. I can understand the citizen who may not have a solid scientific basis and has not studied medicine and may have a certain reluctance to get the vaccine, but I frankly think that those doctors and nurses, if they still have doubts after seeing what happened , they probably have the wrong job ».
Vaccination could also be a precondition for to travel. For now, no one has defined mandatory but there are airlines that are studying the possibility of accepting travelers only if vaccinated. Given the small number of people who have received the vaccine so far, the times seem long.
However, the question of rights: can the right to travel without a vaccine be denied, which is not compulsory in many countries? On the other hand, the states, in particular those that have best controlled the pandemic, could ask for an entry certification as already happens with swabs and quarantines.
