There is great uncertainty about vaccination in Rsa from El Norte. In Lombardy and Piedmont, where the pandemic gives COVID-19 Striking more in the first phase and insisting on the second, sanitation workers seem to have some doubts about their duty.
The most shocking figure yesterday came from Pavia, where only two out of ten RSA nurses say they are willing to get vaccinated. A sadly identical result to that of Brescia last week. “We must fully understand the importance of this moment and nursing home operators cannot escape – warns the director of the Pavia Health Protection Agency Mara Azzi – It is unthinkable that only 20 percent of these people want to protect themselves against he virus. When you are in contact day and night with elderly and fragile people, there are conditions to think that a real obligation weighs on them.
Vaccine: reserve, coverage, side effects, schedules: all questions (and answers)
THE PIEDMONTESE SURVEY
And while the mandatory nature of the vaccine continues to be debated (the labor lawyer Pietro Ichino spoke of penalties, even severe ones for those who refuse), it is surprising that even the regulated Piedmont, according to a survey, sees only 30 percent of the operators of RSA ready to DJ with no buts. “At least half are near the No vax location and in nursing homes the best is only 50 percent ”, explains Michele Assandri, president of the Piedmontese structures for the elderly.
It is better, but not perfectly, in virtuous regions such as Emilia Romagna and Tuscany, where adhesions exceed 70 percent, but do not reach 80 percent. However, it should be noted that among hospital doctors and nurses the percentage is always higher, with peaks of 95%. A matter of greater preparation and, obviously, a sense of responsibility.
Rome, vaccine for the elderly: we start on January 4 from the Castelli
Although there are those like Luca Degani, Lombard president of Uneba, the trade association for the social and health sector, find the surveys “unreliable because it cannot be believed that those who have treated patients for months in structures full of viruses do not want to immunize When there is the possibility of getting vaccinated I am sure that the adhesions will be very different ».
LAZIO
A complicated situation also in Lazio, where few operators responded to email invitation from nursing homes. There is even talk of a 10 percent yes and that is why some businessmen are going to fight back by announcing that, in the case of infections within the RSA, the personnel who refused will be responsible.
This lack of adherence remains inexplicable if not with the holidays, carelessness and superficiality, which hopefully will turn into a massive participation with the arrival of the vaccine. Also because it is the health professionals themselves who risk for themselves, for their families, for patients and for their families, those who are excluded from visits and end up weighing on the workload of the nurses. In fact, the structures are still closed to visits from the elderly who remain alone and need care.
“All health workers must be vaccinated against Covid and if they do not want to, they must be suspended from service because they are not up to the task,” explains Giuseppe Ippolito, scientific director of the Spallanzani Institute in Rome. And for Giovanni Leoni, vice president of the Federation of Medical Orders, “we must be inflexible with those who do not get vaccinated. In fact, it is an ethical duty. He cannot be the one to treat and help to get sick or infect others. “
