Vaccinations, the mess of retired doctors: ‘Help? We recover “



[ad_1]


I medici retirees, who have agreed to go out into the field as vaccinators, they will find the monthly check suspended. There is a mess in the legislation that runs the risk of losing a large number of professionals along the way who, although already retired, were willing to give their contribution. There is talk of at least a thousand professionals throughout Italy who could now give up.

Johnson & Johnson vaccine, in April the first 400 thousand doses in Italy: no age limit for administrations

OBSTACLES

Carlo Palermo, President of Anaao assomed, association of executive doctors: «We must remove any obstacle on the way to the goal of strengthening a mass vaccination organization that leads to 500 thousand daily injections. To overcome this rule, which penalizes the retired doctor who collaborates in vaccination, we will present an amendment to the parliamentary groups. There has to be a change. Objectively, a pensioner, before going through a check suspension procedure, with all the bureaucratic problems, forget it. The simplest thing is that everyone keeps their social security contributions and also has what is owed to them for the vaccination activity. I think it is the simplest solution. Why did this problem arise? In fact, it all begins with the decree of last January turned into law: during the examination in the Senate, an amendment was inserted in which health companies can use retired personnel, assigning paid positions until December 31, 2022 The norm (law 29 of March 12, 2021), however, says that the pension is suspended: “The pension treatment of the months for which the transfer is paid is not paid.”


And for many, of course, this solution is not convenient. These are tasks generally related to the epidemiological emergency situation, not necessarily vaccination, but the inoculation part runs the risk of having an impact on this limitation. For example, yesterday the newspaper La Nuova Ferrara reported that in the city of Este one of the retired doctors who offered to help with the vaccination, after the unpleasant surprise due to the suspension of the subsidy, backed down: “They force me to stop “.

CHANGES

Francesco Ripa di Meana, president of Fiaso, the Federation of Health and Hospitals, sent a note to the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, to Ministers Speranza, Brunetta and Gelmini, asking to change the law: the impossibility of accumulating income on their own account and the Pension treatment will lead healthcare professionals who have made themselves available to collaborate in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic to quit their jobs. There is a risk of causing serious repercussions on the health system, precisely at the moment when it undertakes to attend to the epidemiological emergency and it proceeds with the maximum commitment to increase the number of vaccinations. According to the leader of Anaao, Carlo Palermo, it is also very important to use the experience of doctors, even retirees, during vaccinations, because they can intervene quickly and effectively in very rare anaphylactic reactions after vaccination.
