Is the Green Pass mandatory also for working in the hospital?

by admin

Make the green pass for all healthcare professionals working in hospitals. This is the proposal of the Together Against Cancer Foundation to “win the hard core of the no-vax”. “We ask that hospitals and other health facilities be included in the list of areas for which the possession of the green pass is required as regards the exercise of functions by health personnel”, he says in fact Francesco Cognetti, president of the Foundation.

The list of facilities envisaged by the urgent measures in the Council of Ministers of 22 July 2021 includes restaurants and bars, shows, sporting events, museums, swimming pools, gyms, conferences, congresses. However, there are no hospitals and other health facilities. “Unvaccinated people would therefore be allowed to exercise health professions and in any case to provide care and assistance services to patients at high risk of mortality in the event of contagion from Covid”, underlines the oncologist.

According to the latest government data (June 18), there are 45,753 unvaccinated health workers in Italy, equal to 2.36% of the target workers. “Compared to this national figure, however, there are realities where the percentage of no vaxes among the ranks of healthcare operators exceeds 10% as in the case of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where 11.9% have not yet received the first dose, and the Province of Trento (11.03%) ”, says Cognetti. Also of concern is the case of Emilia-Romagna which has not yet vaccinated 14,390 operators, equal to 7.87% of the staff.

Law no. 44 of 1 April 2021 and, in particular, Article 4 provides for a series of checks for healthcare personnel, such as the transmission by the competent territorial orders of the list of members, and the invitation by the Company of residence to produce the documentation proving the vaccination. “Evidently the Government and its technical consultative bodies considered that the Law was already fully operational”, observes Cognetti: “Furthermore, at the time of the Local Health Authority’s assessment of the non-compliance with the vaccination obligation, written communication is required to ‘concerned, the employer and the professional order to which he / she adopts the suspension from the right to perform duties or functions that involve interpersonal contacts or involve in any other form the risk of spreading infection from SARS-COV-2. To date, however, – concludes the expert – it appears that only in a few and sporadic cases throughout the national territory the Professional Orders have received these communications from the competent ASLs “.
