UDINE. The date of 1 April also marks a watershed for other matters, including those concerning the reimbursement of tampons in pharmacies that had been implemented last summer. The Region, however, has decided to extend this support activity until 30 April.
The deputy governor of Friuli Venezia Giulia with responsibility for Health Riccardo Riccardi clarified this yesterday in a note. “Following the cessation of the national state of emergency Covid-19, starting from 1 April national reimbursements for the ” carrying out the antigenic swabs as required by the memorandum of understanding between the Minister of Health, the Extraordinary Commissioner for the implementation and coordination of measures to contain and combat the epidemiological emergency, Federfarma, Assofarm and Farmacieunite signed in August 2021, without prejudice to further extensions defined at national level, of which there is no evidence to date “.
However, the Region has decided to extend the reimbursements since the validity of the green certification is expected to continue until April 30, 2022 for access to certain services and activities. “For this reason – Riccardi clarifies – the Central Health Department is preparing a deed of extension and adaptation of the regional protocol for the execution of rapid antigen tests in pharmacies for Covid-19 surveillance, in order to ensure the continuation of the regional measures financed by a specific regional law in favor of the categories identified by the regulation itself “.
“In particular – clarifies the commissioner – the reduction of the cost of the tampon will be made in favor of those who are exempt from vaccination for health reasons, underage children and those who attend professional training”. Further details will be clarified in the coming days, when the deed of extension of the regional protocol will be definitively prepared and signed “
