In Italy, at least for the moment, the the vaccine will not be mandatory. This was confirmed several times by the Prime Minister, who said that he wanted safeguard as much as possible the self-determination principle.
But President Conte has never clarified doubts about the possibility of providing a immunity license for those who will undergo the vaccine. An idea that has been made in recent days road in england, with not a few controversies: here, where the anti-Covid vaccination plan has already begun, the rumor has spread that people who refuse to be vaccinated limited access to theaters and stadiums, as well as pubs and restaurants. A hypothesis already denial of some cabinet members, but that should not be excluded implemented in the rest of Europe, Including Italy.
In fact, various media outlets are relaunching the idea of a immunity license for those who will be vaccinated, so they can participate in social activities.
Speaking of an immunity license, that “at the end of the campaign it will only allow the vaccinated to enter theaters or stadiums” – and the Corriere della Sera, while other newspapers report on WHO plan for Europe to present a “electronic vaccination certificate”.
It must be said that at the moment it is only indiscretions: Much will depend, as Giuseppe Conte has stressed on more than one occasion, on how much we are able to keep the contagion curve under control, as well as on how many people choose to undergo the vaccine.
Is vaccination needed to go to the stadium or theater in Italy?
The variables involved, therefore, are many and that is why, for the moment, it is impossible to give an answer regarding what will happen, both with regard to the immunity license and the fact that vaccination against Covid may be mandatory.
For the moment, however, the Italian government tends to denies both hypotheses: just as the vaccine is not intended to be mandatory, it does not appear that it is intended to limit participation in social life only to vaccinated people.
Also because limiting entry to theaters, stadiums and restaurants only to those who get vaccinated would still be discriminatory for those who decide not to get vaccinated. If the government intends to protect the right to self-determination, it must therefore also refrain from introducing a license of immunity.
There is no immunity license in Italy, but Europe thinks about it
Italy will still have to take into account the indications from WHO Europe. It is true that at the moment the Government does not intend to grant an immunity license, but it must be said that in the meantime Europe is reflecting on this possibility that could be extended to all countries.
In this sense, the WHO vaccines expert in Europe, Siddhartha Datta, confirmed that the organization is reflecting on the possibility of working with member states to create a “electronic vaccination certificate”.
A certificate to which participation in certain social activities will be conditioned: for example, for those who do not have it – because they have decided not to be vaccinated – the possibility of go to the movies, train at the gym OR play soccer, as well as book a trip.
In this case, then, we’ll have to get used to the idea of a ‘Europe divided in two: on the one hand those who having undergone the vaccine will be able to return to normality, while on the other hand those who – at least until the risk level returns to zero – having decided not to undergo the vaccine, must still respect a set of prohibitions.
Even if prophylaxis were optional, therefore, such a certificate would represent an incentive to vaccinate, a strong message that could drive so many people to undergo the Covid vaccine. A decision that on the ethical plane raises more than some perplexities: although it would not be a real coercion, it would still represent a forcing, as well as a violation of the principle of self-determination.
