Three-month extension of the measure of suspension of work for unvaccinated health workers until March 31, 2022, announced the Minister of Health Thanos Plevris from the floor of Parliament.
“The pandemic shows us that this measure must be continued and for this first article is the extension of the measure until March 31. Doctors, nurses and other medical staff who have not been vaccinated will not be able to return to work. I want us to be clear. Obviously the pandemic shows that this measure can be made mandatory as a whole and not just for the period we are in now. “The pandemic shows that vaccination is necessary and therefore it is now being clearly examined whether those who provide services as general practitioners and nurses should be vaccinated,” he said during the discussion of the Ministry of Health bill.
In fact, Mr. Plevris revealed that it is being considered not to give another such possibility of extension. “They will have to be vaccinated, otherwise they will not be able to provide their services to the National Health System. “It is now clear that it is for the protection of society and patients, and anyone who wants to provide services to the national health system should be vaccinated,” he explained.
Finally, he underlined that “those who want to be in the National Health System are called to make a decision this quarter. To be vaccinated or to put themselves outside the NSS “.
