Obligatory green pass from 6 August? Yes, but there is a though. The decree of 23 July establishing the new limits does not take into account various issues and problems, of a practical or legal nature. And they will have to be addressed by the government, possibly before 6 August, in order not to create possible discrimination.
The delays, the lack of cooperation from doctors, pharmacists
On a practical level, “there are delays and errors in the provision of the green pass by the Regions”, he points out Massimo Eats, digital health expert. Mangia follows the theme in the tables between different Regions and the Government. The cases are numerous. The green pass is available, but the code to obtain the green pass does not arrive (via text message or email) due to a misunderstanding: it is the simplest case to solve, because “it would be enough” to access via Spid or Cie the government platform or the app IO to do without code.
But how do the less technological people do it? And who doesn’t have time to be Spid? They can go to pharmacists or family doctors, the rules say. “It is a pity, however, that these figures have not received training in this regard. And the doctors are reluctant to offer a service for which there is no remuneration”, explains Mangia. In fact, the doctors’ unions have already declared their opposition.

There are also cases in which the system does not show the green pass due to an error in the patient data input phase. Apparently, it happens especially when this input is manual by the vaccinator or swab person. In short, it is worthwhile to turn to more organized structures, if it is possible to choose, to minimize the risk of errors. If the pass does not arrive (and it is not even via Spid or to the doctor, pharmacist), however, you enter a limbo with few certainties. The dedicated call center, at number 1500, is often busy because it is overwhelmed by requests (confirming the problems). You can contact the vaccination center or whoever made the swabs, insisting that the data be verified and re-entered. But in this regard there are no established procedures, much less rules.
It can also happen that the data is correct but the pass does not arrive: then it is a “simple” delay in handling the file, which however can seriously threaten the possibility of complying with the obligation of 6 August. expire in a very short time (48 hours). In short, these delays risk severely penalizing those who were not ready to get vaccinated as soon as possible; but also those who are subject to regions and structures that are less efficient in managing practices. In this regard, there are regions that have just begun to vaccinate the 12-15 year olds and others that will only do so in August (Tuscany, Puglia). But the green pass obligation is also valid for 12-year-olds.

Privacy
Finally, the last decree has some potentially critical points in terms of privacy and, as far as it appears, they are on the table of the relative Italian Guarantor. For example, the decree refers to a future decree of the presidency of the council to regulate the verification of the certificates of those who are exempt from the green pass for particular diseases. And, in the meantime, the user is allowed to show a paper certificate proving the right to exemption. “We are at the paradox. We have thought of the green pass to protect the privacy of citizens and now we allow the circulation of certificates where any gym or restaurant manager can read the pathology that allows the exemption”, explains the jurist Vitalba Azzollini.
The objective, desirable by the Privacy Guarantor, is to settle the point when converting the decree – before August 6 – to protect the privacy of the exempted. For example, a solution now hypothesized is to ensure that in paper certificates only the right to exemption is indicated (and not the reasons); better still, from a privacy point of view, those exempted could result from the certificate in possession of the green pass. All this, however, while waiting for the decree that would better discipline the verification methods for the exempted.
