The obligation to vaccinate, in the Decree of the Official Gazette he provides (but we are not the first …)
Rome, January 10 – Posted in Official Gazette No. 1 dated January 7th From the latest legislative decree of the government on this subject, the duty to vaccinate for all citizens over 50 years of age has been in effect in our country since Saturday, January 8. Therefore, for all workers in the public and private sectors over the age of 50, it will be necessary to have the so-called enhanced green corridor to access the workplace, starting next February 15.
In the news press, it was confirmed that Italy is a kind of pioneer in this matter, after it was – last April – the first country in Europe to introduce the duty of vaccination to all health workers, followed two months later by France. However, it is not accurate to say that we are the first to resort to this procedure. In this regard, Ansa proposes a kind of “map” of the countries of the world in which the obligation to vaccinate is already in force. Indonesia was the first to introduce it, starting in February 2021, even before the vaccination campaign started. The government imposed fines of up to 5 million rupees, equivalent to about 400 euros. It may not sound like much, but it is actually a huge amount, given that the minimum wage in that country is around 250 euros.
So far generalized commitment. But also in other countries, the obligation to vaccinate is increasing Step by Step It is reasonable to expect that other countries will already have the goal of extending the measure, starting with Europe, Especially after the important Authentication from the head of the commission Ursula von der Leyen (in the picture), Which in recent days has given a strong impetus to the debate about binding vaccinations in the European Union, in light of concern that the epidemic will not re-emerge and concerns about the Omicron variant. “Two or three years ago I would have never thought of that, but it’s time to discuss the duty to vaccinate” In fact, von der Leyen said, she is effectively getting rid of the measure that was just passed in Italy.
Back in other countries, in Australia, the vaccination obligation currently applies only to those who work in contact with the elderly, in retirement homes, and competing Paralympic athletes in Tokyo. In Greece, all health workers must be vaccinated by September. In the UK, from October, it will be mandatory for nursing home operators.
