Confusion continued on Thursday
in relation to the obligation for children to be vaccinated to
be admitted to school for the upcoming educational year.
On Wednesday it was announced that the majority in parliament
supporting the League-5-Star Movement (M5S) government would
present an amendment to keep 10 vaccinations compulsory for
admission to nursery schools.
But on Thursday an amendment was presented that would allow
parents to self-certify that the vaccination obligations had
been respected rather than providing the actual vaccination
documentation.
In a first vote in a parliamentary committee on extending the
self-certification, two ruling alliance lawmakers, one from the
League and one from the M5S, voted against the amendment
extending self-certification, which was presented to the mixed
'milleproroghe' decree.
School heads and doctors have urged the government to end the
"chaos" resulting from a law stating the compulsory nature of
the vaccinations and a circular saying self-certification would
be enough to secure school admission.
