He’s not vaccinated, family doctor suspended

Not vaccinated, a family doctor from the Zelo Buon Persico area suspended. This is the first general practitioner invested in the suspension provision, in the province of Lodi, in addition to an ASST doctor and 9 freelance doctors (in addition to 14 sector operators active in the hospital). In the Lodi area there are 150 general practitioners and 30 free choice pediatricians. The Ats of Milan, which also includes the territory of Lodi, and is led by the general manager Walter Bergamaschi, is deciding how to proceed, whether to assign a substitute to patients who remain without a referring doctor, or whether to appoint colleagues in the network. The mayor of Zelo Angelo Madonini, at the moment, does not want to «enter into the merits. I await – he says – the formalization of the acts ». Article 4 of Law Decree 44/2021 of 1 April provides for the obligation of vaccination for those who practice a health profession. Those who do not vaccinate after 2 recommended are suspended from the order, moved to an isolated workplace, if there is one, or left at home by the employer without a salary, until 31 December. “As for me – specifies the president of the Order of Doctors Massimo Vajani, who had already spoken on the subject in recent days, on the occasion of the announcement of the suspension of the other colleagues – I repeat that it is important for health professionals to be vaccinated, because they come into contact with patients and in case of positivity they could infect their patients. In my opinion, it is a duty for a doctor and a health worker in general to be protected, both for himself and for his patients ».
