Covid vaccine, “about 200 no vax doctors suspended”

About 200 no vax doctors suspended in Italy. “In September we will have a complete picture of the doctors suspended from the ASL because they are not vaccinated against Covid, at the moment they are about 150-200. Having no precise data, however, we can estimate that there are not a thousand non-immunized colleagues but in this number there could be even those who have a valid motivation, for example health “, underlines to Adnkronos Salute the president of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli, taking stock of the disciplinary activities implemented by the individual Orders that receive the reports of the suspension by the ASL: “The first resolutions of the various provincial Orders are coming”, the president specifies. Read also “We have set in motion a mechanism that is working, especially in the North and the Center, less so in the South, but bureaucracy is rampant and we have noticed some problems, for example of colleagues who were vaccinated in a region but work in a other “, warns Anelli, who remarks as” failure to vaccinate for a doctor is like not having a degree, as if he were practicing the profession illegally “. Going into the merits of the individual regions, do we know where the number of no-vax doctors is most consistent? “We do not have the numbers of Southern Italy, there are regions like Veneto that started earlier and others that started later – answers Anelli – I am also president of the Omceo of Bari and I have sent the list of registered doctors to the Region on 6 April before the deadline set by the law, but to date I have not received from the Region the names of the doctors reported because they have not been vaccinated or suspended “. On the possibility of extending the vaccination obligation for health personnel even beyond 31 December? “I hope that the law will be renewed – answers Anelli – But then we should ask ourselves the problem of how to replace the doctors who are suspended”.
