Already on the first day of vaccination, SAM received information about possible infractions in the Šalčininkai district municipality. SAM said in a press release that it had taken steps to clarify the situation as soon as possible.
“SAM contacted the Šalčininkai primary health care center by phone. Having received no explanations, he sent a letter today to the Šalčininkai district municipality administration director with a request to provide substantiated explanations as to why the requirements of legal acts regarding the organization of vaccination may not have been met, ”the ministry said in a statement.
On Saturday, an anonymous man told LRT television that he was traveling from Vilnius to Šalčininkai district municipality for vaccination and received the AstraZeneca vaccine without any right to do so. He said that he had not even received a question about registered residence, but that he learned about the possibility of vaccination in this way.
“SAM constantly collaborates with the coordinators of the vaccination process designated by the municipalities and takes into account their suggestions about the vaccination process. To speed up the vaccination process, treatment facilities can move on to the next priority group or groups if the previous group cannot be vaccinated and, as a result, the facility does not use all doses of vaccine administered during the week, ”SAM said. . the report said.
All municipalities and vaccination centers that operate in them must follow the order of priority groups approved by order of the Ministry of Health.
