A total of 177 medical professionals and healthcare workers in the province of Pordenone have been suspended for failing to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
There are 46 nurses among those suspended, who failed to show up for their vaccination appointments in June, reports news agency ANSA.
The action, which follows an investigation by local health authority ASFO, is in line with obligations for healthcare workers in Italy to be vaccinated against Covid-19 or face being suspended without pay.
The suspension will remain in effect until 31 December or until such time as those suspended take the Covid vaccine, reports ANSA.
