PADUA – Three nurses in service at the Abano Nursing Home before get vaccinated against COVID-19 they asked lawyer Giorgio Destro for an opinion. The concerns of the three health workers are related to the signing of the informed consent form. A 14-page document that is shown to those directly involved prior to the administration of the vaccine. And that must necessarily be endorsed.
Vaccine, informed consent
«Informed consent is not a release, it does not release the health professional from the consequences of a medical procedure. It is simply a document to inform the patient of possible complications or to duly inform him, as in the case of vaccines, that there may be complications not known at the moment ». The teacher says so Paolo Benciolini, forensic doctor at the University of Padua, commenting on the initiative of a Padua lawyer, the lawyer Giorgio Destro, who had advised three nurses who had approached him to get vaccinated against Covid, but not to sign the consent.

Side effects
Benciolini recalls that the vaccine form explicitly states that “it is not possible for the moment to predict long range damage“For the professor, it would be a contradiction to accept to be vaccinated without declaring in writing that he has done so. The opinion expressed by Destro was, instead, that informed consent would allow doctors and the pharmaceutical company to be” relieved “of possible complications the vaccine is still unknown.
“The lack of informed consent – specifies Benciolini – constitutes a release from responsibility for medical failures. My advice to everyone who will be vaccinated, therefore, is to sign the informed consent with confidence as it documents your free and informed choice.
