According to reports, there were several appeals from people who received the fine despite being vaccinated: In these cases, they have ten days to provide proof of vaccination. It was criticized that the deceased were also sent traffic tickets.
Almost 20 million Italians are not vaccinated
19.5 million Italians are either not vaccinated or are incomplete because they have not received the third or fourth dose, reported the President of the Gimbe Scientific Foundation, Nino Cartabellotta. 6.8 million Italians have not received a vaccine dose, of whom about 2.8 million cannot be vaccinated immediately because they have been recovering from the coronavirus for less than 180 days. On the other hand, 8.23 million Italians did not receive a third dose.
The Ministry of Health in Rome urged the regions to get the stagnant vaccination campaign moving again. Almost 20 million Italians are insufficiently protected by the vaccine, either because they have not gone through the entire vaccination cycle or because they have not received a dose at all. The Ministry of Health complained that only a small percentage of Italians over 80 years of age and the immunocompromised people reported for the fourth injection.
The regions and autonomous provinces are asked to strengthen public information campaigns on the usefulness of additional doses of vaccine. General practitioners and paediatricians should be given the opportunity to participate in the vaccination campaign. In addition, citizens should be actively invited to be vaccinated.
Vaccination obligation until June 15th
In Italy, vaccinations are compulsory for Italians over the age of 50 until June 15. Vaccination is also compulsory for healthcare workers until the end of the year.
