Résumé des faits
The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 3,000 on a medical association. A doctor had filed a complaint because the professional association suspended them for not fulfilling the COVID-19 vaccination obligation and also informed their employer of this. An email from the association requesting notification of the employer was inadvertently sent to other individuals, as a result of which their email addresses and vaccination status became known.
