Covid, Consult 'save' the vaccine obligation

The Constitutional Court "save" the obligation of the anti-Covid vaccine introduced by the Draghi government in 2021 for some professional categories and the over 50s. The Court found the questions raised by five judicial offices inadmissible and unfounded.

In particular, the Court considered inadmissible, for procedural reasons, the question relating to the impossibility, for operators of the health professions who have not fulfilled the vaccination obligation, to carry out their work activity, when it does not involve interpersonal contacts.

On the other hand, the choices of the legislator adopted in the pandemic period on the vaccination obligation of healthcare personnel were considered neither unreasonable nor disproportionate.

Lastly, the questions raised with reference to the provision which excludes,

in the event of non-fulfillment of the vaccination obligation and for the time of suspension, the payment of a check to be paid by the employer for those who have been suspended;

and this, both for health personnel and for school personnel.

This was announced by the Communication and Press Office of the Constitutional Court, pending the filing of the sentences.

A mountain of fines that are close to two million.

They will start today for those who were required to get vaccinated against Covid and did not: in fact, the 180 days set to justify failure to comply with the vaccination obligation have expired.

These are professors, health workers, law enforcement and the over 50s who will have to pay fines of 100 euros each.

The aversion to the vaccine was stronger in some regions: the black jersey in terms of fines for no-vax over 50 goes to Friuli Venezia Giulia, followed by Calabria and Abruzzo.

While Puglia, Lazio, Tuscany and Molise are among the most virtuous territories, with percentages of people who have been vaccinated with at least two doses exceeding 90% in the age group between 50 and 59 years.

While the no vaxes are making their voices heard again with a protest right in front of the Consulta in the name of freedom of self-determination: about fifty from all over Italy find themselves, with placards and tricolors tight around their necks.
