Italians without a vaccine passport could find it difficult to claim their pensions

Italy introduced a vaccine passport mandate for banks and post offices, meaning retirees who pick their pension in person will have to produce a vaccine pass to access their pension or funds.

In Italy, people are given the Green Pass if they have been “fully” vaccinated, recovered from COVID, or by presenting a negative test.

As reported by Il Giornale, the new requirement will have an impact on retirees because most of them pick their pensions in person.

The government included banks and post offices in the list of “non-essential.” Other shops that are now considered “non-essential” include tobacconists. Smokers cannot get cigarettes from a tobacco shop without a Green Pass.
