Italy Makes Vaccine Mandatory For Over-50s And Bans Unvaccinated From Working

BritishHealthAllianceJanuary 6, 2022

Italy has made vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory for over-40s in the country, as well as banning those who are unvaccinated from various workplaces.

According to a report from an Italian news source ANSA, anyone over the age of 50 in Italy will be obliged to be jabbed against COVID-19 with the measure becoming effective immediately.

The measure was reportedly objected to by the Italian political party La Lega, which is currently part of the country’s ruling coalition.

Meanwhile, a ban on unvaccinated individuals in workplaces will soon be entering into effect.

This will be done through the implementation of the so-called “Super Green Pass”, which can only be contained through being vaccinated or having recovered from COVID-19.

Workers in shops, shopping centres, public offices, government buildings and commercial services will all be required to have a Super Green Pass.

The measure is immediately effective and will run until 15 June.
