Reuters reported on Oct 28, former prime minister Mario Draghi’s government had made vaccination mandatory for teachers and health workers in 2021 and extended that to everyone over 50 in January this year.
Italian doctors and nurses suspended from work because they are not vaccinated against Covid-19 will soon be reinstated, new Health Minister Orazio Schillaci said on Friday. The move is motivated by a worrying shortage of medical personnel together with declining cases of Covid-19. The new government will also cancel fines imposed on all people aged over 50 who had not got vaccinated”.
Reuters continues, “A measure is being finalized that will allow the reintegration into service of health staff subject to suspension proceedings for non-compliance with compulsory vaccination before the expiry date of the suspension,” he said in a statement posted on the ministry’s website”.
