Like a portal lrytas.lt Writes journalist Eimantas Šaulitis, Marijona Sluckienė, who has lived in England with her daughter Laima since 2016, received an offer to get vaccinated by phone. It was asked if her relatives could take the woman to the hospital, since the first vaccinations were carried out only in medical institutions.
Laima, Marijona’s daughter, said she had to wait about 15 minutes at the hospital after the vaccination; doctors watched the elderly man for side effects. However, everything went well and the main unpleasant feelings were the same as after the flu shot.
A vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, which is already approved by the European Union, is currently being vaccinated in the UK. Lithuania plans to receive around 10,000 doses of the same vaccine on December 27.

Last week it was announced that the United States had also approved the Modernos vaccine against COVID-19 on an urgent basis. This is the second approved vaccine against this infection.
The world is currently concerned about another very recent issue: whether these vaccines will work on the new strain of coronavirus that has been discovered in the UK. There are no approved studies yet, but according to Ingrida Olendraitė, a doctoral student at Cambridge University and a virologist in Delfi rytas, it is believed that virus strains “are not as different as flu strains. It will not be possible to infect another strain of the virus and immunity or the vaccine will not work. “
