However, according to the prime minister, the amount could be several or several times less, “depending on the success of the companies that develop vaccines.”

There may be fewer, but we also have option B, so they should not discard those vaccines that will reach Lithuania. Although we do not rule it out, as the validity will not be very long, we will try to take advantage of all the possibilities to get the most out of this vaccine “, said S. Skvernelis after the meeting of the ruler Tarsus in the Seimas.
The Prime Minister did not rule out the possibility of international agreements being reached in the future so that the conclusion of the travel bubbles where it is possible to travel during a pandemic takes into account whether a person has been vaccinated.
“If we really succeed in these actions, and the vaccine is effective, then in the event of outbreaks (…) we will not have to close the country, nor the economy, nor the economy, nor will we close or isolate ourselves. Yes, there will be a condition if we have to talk about some kind of travel bubble again, it is natural that someone who will be vaccinated will have completely different travel, communication and business conditions than someone who will be in risk groups, “said S Skvernelis.
