As part of the broader action to fight the COVID-19 emergency, the social partners signed a Protocol for the development of company plans for the establishment of vaccination points in the workplaces. The protocol aims to involve companies in the implementation of the campaign in order to accelerate vaccination.
Companies will be able to support, in compliance with the indications provided by the national vaccination plan, the vaccination campaign through definition of specific plans for the direct vaccination of workers within companies. According to the Protocol, this can take place in two ways:
directly, offering the company spaces located in the different territories as additional vaccination points and committing to the direct vaccination of their staff; indirectly, through the use of private health facilities.
According to the Protocol, the costs for the development and management of vaccination plans are entirely borne by the employer. It also foresees if the vaccination is performed during working hours, the time needed for the vaccination is equated in all respects to working hours. The Protocol was adopted under the auspices of the Minister of Labor and Social Policies and the Minister of health, which promoted discussions between the social partners in order to contribute to the rapid implementation of the vaccination plan.
