He used the last drop: to persuade the elderly to get vaccinated, he also gave the vaccine to the people who were accompanying them.

I found an unknown old woman

One of the beneficiaries of the vaccination campaign is Arūnas de Marijampolė. The man says he learned about the possibility of receiving the Pfizer vaccine on the Facebook account of the social platform of the municipality of Marijampolė.

“I have been waiting a long time to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, but those opportunities did not appear. I was very happy when a friend sent me a notification from the municipality of Marijampolė about a possible vaccine last week. Of course, all my elderly relatives had already received the vaccine, so the most difficult thing was finding an elderly man who would agree to go with me to get vaccinated, ”says Arūnas.

The man says he has worked hard to find an older person who not only met the age requirements, but also wanted to get vaccinated. Calling all known elders, grandparents of friends, the man finally found what he was looking for. Nijolė de Marijampolė voluntarily agreed to be vaccinated, but an issue had to be resolved before a full agreement could be reached.

“You see, I’m only turning 65 in September, so I was sure I wouldn’t be able to get the vaccine, so I didn’t plan on getting vaccinated this time either. But Arūnas, who called the Marijampolė Vaccination Center, found that he could still get vaccinated by age. And if I can, Arūnas too. I am very grateful to him for finding me, “Nijolė said happily.

Arūnas adds that the vaccination went smoothly.

“I am glad that I not only helped Nijole get vaccinated, but also received the vaccine myself. I am 22 years old, so I cannot imagine when they would have given me the vaccine. Now he is calm,” says the man.

This campaign is the last trump card of the municipality

Upon learning of such a vaccination campaign, Delphi contacted the municipality of Marijampolė. As explained by the councilor to the municipal mayor, the vaccination coordinator Agnė Pavelčikienė, the Ministry of Health was not consulted about this campaign, but the information on vaccination was public and accessible to all.

“We took these campaigns for a simple reason: we realized that we would not invite more seniors to vaccinate ourselves. And in the past we have prepared ‘live queues”, we have invited people 65 and older. But the The last sign was when we had 300 vaccines and only 80 elderly people came to be vaccinated. We realized that we had reached the limit and that no more elderly people would come, “says A. Pavelčikienė about the idea of ​​the vaccination campaign. He adds that this vaccination is an asset launched by the municipality.

The woman estimates that 203 older adults were vaccinated yesterday.

“I think this vaccination campaign was a success,” says the Marijampolė vaccination coordinator. – Yesterday, many older people came for the vaccine, because they could have received it much earlier. Consequently, they only lacked the breath of a close person. “

A. Pavelčikienė says that he has not registered any cases of fraud. Because before the arrival of the vaccine, it was necessary to register both the grandfather and the person who accompanied him, so there was no possibility that the grandfather would be “caught in the street” or taken to the vaccine by force.

The Marijampol vacuna vaccination coordinator says that it is unfair that the Vilnius municipality is allowed to “go through priorities”, act on vaccination matters as it wishes, and that all other municipalities must follow the rules.

“In Marijampolė, we are still vaccinating the elderly and people with chronic diseases, although it can be said that the vaccination of the latter group of people has not yet been accelerated. Of course, we hope that after yesterday we will be able to review the vaccination priorities, ”says A. Pavelčikienė.
