Message to be vaccinated and return to worksent again to suspended health workersthe Minister of Health, Thanos Plevris, answering a topical question of the 5th Deputy Speaker of Parliament and MP of Larissa of the KKE, Georgios Lambroulis on the subject of “the lifting of administrative measures for all unvaccinated health workers against COVID-19”.
The new data refute the initial argument that the spread of the virus is due to those who are not vaccinated, Mr. Lambroulis stressed, developing his question. As he underlined, with his policy the government deprives the hospitals from thousands of employees, the health ones from the means of livelihood and their insurance, but also the patients from the staff in need. “Persistence in suspending work creates an artificial deterioration to create the need for individuals to enter HealthSaid Mr. Λαμπρούλης.
Mr. Plevris, who recalled the legislative intervention to continue the suspension of work in the unvaccinated until 31/12/2022, noted that there is another important issue for doctors and nurses, and another for administrative staff. There is another, much bigger obligation for doctors and nurses than a civil servant: It is the obligation that arises from the fact that they serve the NSS and provide medical and nursing operations.
At this stage, it was decided that the specific team, from any position it offers to the NSS, should be suspended. If the data changes, the issue could be reconsidered, but we already have something legislated. «I am not one of those people who want to turn a blind eye to giving hope. Clearly, I tell them that they should go get vaccinated and go back to work.Said Mr. Plevris and continued:
«The fact that they do not return is purely their choice, respected, that they do not want to be vaccinated. But the choice of the State is also respected, which says that in the event of a pandemic we provide our services to the NSS, we want to be vaccinated, This applies much more to doctors and nurses“, He pointed out.
He also noticed that the pandemic is not gone: As there are auxiliaries, and their contracts are renewed, because we recognize that in hospitals there are still covid conditions, respectively nothing has changed in terms of the variable for the health workers who chose not to be vaccinated. He added, however, that the 31 December deadline could be extended, as there could be another decision if a positive scenario were to be achieved. «But at this stage, there is a pandemic. We must be prepared for September. International bodies are telling us that ‘yes there is a recession right now’. We hope that this will continue along the way, and that the virus will follow the path followed by the pandemics, which in the 2nd and 3rd year begin to decline and become endemic. But this can not be if one subscribes. Therefore, the conditions exist, especially for the part that concerns doctors and nurses. The requirements of the State for doctors and nurses are greater. We address the hard core of people who manage the public good of Health. We want them to believe in science, to protect themselves and othersDeclared the Minister of Health.
