In preparation for the resumption of regular training, vaccination against the coronavirus also started at the Klaipėda Vydūnas Gymnasium.
“It just came to our attention then. I had no fears and not even the idea that there is no need to be vaccinated, it is absolutely necessary, ”the school employee told Lietuvos Rytas television.
She was supported by a colleague, who admitted that some team members had reported misleading information.
“There was a wide range of opinions: the anti-tax information was clearly taken into account, there were all kinds of delusions about the chip,” he said.
For his part, Ramunė Vaičienė, deputy director of the gym, said that four employees of the entire team refused to be vaccinated.
“There were 4 refusals who plan to get vaccinated later. This is a person’s choice, he decides for himself: if he does not want to be vaccinated, he will be able to do a rapid test, if he wishes, ”said R. Vaičienė.
I received letters from managers
Teachers at Alytus Likiškėliai Progymnasium received a letter from the principal telling them that teachers who had not been vaccinated and refused to carry out a preventive investigation could be removed from work and paid for free.
The school director himself assured that this provision would be modified.
“We have decided that we will change the term in that description or plan so that we consider everything strictly as recommended,” said Gintautas Draugelis, Acting Director of Alytus Likiškėliai progymnasium.
For his part, Andrius Navickas, president of the Union of Education Workers, acknowledged that teachers in other Lithuanian schools also received such reports.
“The teachers really want to go back to work as soon as possible and get vaccinated if necessary. Now that pressure is giving the opposite reaction and that doubt arises. Especially from the municipality of Kaunas (we received – aut.p.) such complaints that the managers have received such instructions from the municipality to guarantee vaccination or testing, which, in our opinion, it should not be. The latest explanation from the ministry shows that it is not mandatory, “stressed A. Navickas.
Declares that vaccinations and tests are not mandatory
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health notes that vaccination and preventive tests for teachers are not mandatory.
“The tests are really optional. We understand people’s freedom to choose whether or not to take an exam. On the other hand, we invite and encourage them to be attentive, because we understand that without evidence we will never know what the real situation is, ”Simona Bieliūnė, an advisor to the Ministry of Health, told television.
Roughly 19,000 people have already been vaccinated with COVID-19 in the first dose. school and kindergarten staff.
