Resident doctors go to the end of the queue. They will receive the Covid vaccine after the hospital employees. Even if they do the same work alongside virus patients as other non-hired healthcare workers, they will be protected last.
The reports to the apprentices’ association “Who cares for you” came from at least three structures: the San Gerardo de Monza, the Reunited Hospitals in Ancona and the Umberto I Polyclinic in Rome. But it is not ruled out that the problem is more generalized.
Some nations, within the category of health personnel exposed to infection, grant a priority based on age. In fact, young people generally have milder symptoms. “But in our case the order is established based on the type of contractual relationship. This is not justified. When there was a need to hire personnel to carry out the vaccine, they immediately came to ask us, and they practically fitted in for free, within the professional training “, explains Salvatore Mazzeo, executive member of the group” Chi si cura di te “.” We should be administering one vaccine that we would receive in the end. “And if it is normal for trainees to be younger than contracted physicians, this is far from obvious to other health professionals.
The vaccination plan of the Lazio Region foresees that, firstly, “dependent health and socio-health personnel” are vaccinated and, secondly, “non-dependent health and health personnel”. And the third is “health and socio-health personnel in training (postgraduates, scholars, students)”.

In Ancona came the immediate warning that vaccines will not be available, accompanied by a happy new year. “At first, the trainees were given the opportunity to book. Then the counter-order came,” Mazzeo explains. “We must communicate – the message received from the young doctors – that due to a technical error it was not possible to notify the SSLL. That your reservation can only be made after the reservation of the employees of the Healthcare role in assistance, on request” .
Coronavirus, vaccinations in Italy region by region and comparison with the rest of the world
The members of “Who takes care of you” have never found any trace of the ministerial guidelines. The San Gerardo di Monza underlined the phrase with discrimination, to make it even more evident: “The vaccination sessions up to and including 10/1/2021 are dedicated to employees. remaining staff (including trainees) must book in subsequent sessions“.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, trainees have been very involved in the care of patients with coronavirus, although in the first two years and even if they come from branches of medicine not related to the symptoms of the disease. Some received a temporary employment contract, others did not. A third, according to “Who cares about you”, was forced to work in the Covid rooms.
