(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 6 - Filippo Anelli, the head of the
Italian Federation of Medical Guilds (FNOMCEO), said Monday that
around 1,000 active doctors in Italy have not been vaccinated
for COVID-19 even though the jab is obligatory for health
workers here.
"According to the data of the National Federation of Medical
Guilds, there are presumable around 1,500 unvaccinated doctors
(in Italy)," Anelli said.
"About 1,000 of these are still practising the profession, that
is almost 70% of total number of unvaccinated doctors.
"Of the 1,500, 500 are currently suspended.
"Another 120 rectified their situations, notifying that they had
been vaccinated, before they were suspended." (ANSA).
