February seems far away, yet only 8 months ago the over-50s marked two important dates on the calendar: 1 February, the day when the 100 euro fine was imposed for those who had not yet complied with the vaccination obligation; and on February 15, the day on which the obligation for all workers to have a reinforced Green pass came into force, which could only be obtained with vaccination or recovery. Those who did not have the appropriate certification risked a fine of between 600 and 1,500 euros. Now, as reported by ‘Il Sole 24 Ore’, a million fines would be ready, but the suspension would already be coming.

It is not clear what will happen now. The ‘Sole 24 Ore’ reports of a probable suspension of the aforementioned fines. With the change of government, the new political majority will change and, as is well known, the forces of the right have always declared themselves against the obligation to vaccinate and the use of the Green Pass. What is known, so far, is that with the arrival of autumn the cases from Covid in Italy have returned to rise, and that many are running for cover by booking the fourth dose of the anti-Covid vaccine. Percentages that still do not worry the experts, who however recommend the vaccination of the most vulnerable, and caution and precautions to the rest of the population.
