This week, after its presentation, Parliament unanimously approved a bill to simplify consent for vaccination in the event of a pandemic after an emergency or quarantine at the state level. It will be considered further by the Seimas Health Affairs Committee.
The project, presented by the former Minister of Health Aurelijus Veryga, proposes that a patient who voluntarily goes to the place of vaccination to be vaccinated against the disease that caused the pandemic should be treated as if he had consented to the vaccination, that is, not must complete a writing. consent.
There is a similar analogy with the provision of ambulance services, where it is considered that if a patient has already called and called an ambulance, we understand that he wants help to be provided and agrees to be provided, in this case it is exactly the same , the principle is also proposed ”, says A. Veryga.
“If a patient has come to be vaccinated, it is considered that he agrees to be vaccinated and should not have to fill out a very large number of documents,” the former minister is quoted in the report of the Department of Public Relations of Seimas.
According to A. Veryga, the proposed changes do not negate the obligation to inform the patient about possible side effects or other necessary information in a conspicuous place accessible to him. The procedure for providing such information would be established by the Minister of Health.
