It is important to persuade the skeptics
“There are a lot of people inside, I think there are a lot of people who are already vaccinated for the second time. I don’t think it’s very good; it would be better to do it uniformly or vice versa.” People who have received the first vaccine are more than 40 percent, definitely we should try more, “said the prime minister.
He considered that some people may want to delay their vaccines due to the improvement in the epidemiological situation, but they do not believe that it is effective.
“We have to be very careful what we see in the UK, where rapid vaccination has improved the situation very quickly, but a new strain of the virus has emerged and is spreading among people who have not been vaccinated. I would very much like to see this in Lithuania, and the only antidote for this is rapid vaccination, ”said I. Šimonytė.
According to her, other solutions will be offered soon to make it more convenient to register for the vaccine. According to the Prime Minister, the exact number of people to be vaccinated is not important in this case, because now the most important thing is to convince the skeptics.
“70 percent, 69 or 72 – in my opinion, it’s a bit of numerology. My personal goal is as much as possible. Surveys show that 65 percent of people are in the mood to get vaccinated or rather vaccinated. We also know that only 10 percent are willing not to get vaccinated under any circumstances.
In a group of more skeptics, I think it is possible to discover people who will be affected by those arguments, because there are so many side effects that affect us, even if they do not touch us ourselves. kovidas “, – the prime minister spoke.
Evaluated the fate of AstraZeneca
Speaking about the vaccine, the prime minister of AstraZeneca said that it is still adequate for initial immunity, and further decisions about vaccination will be clarified later. He also confirmed that Lithuania would provide part of this vaccine as support.
AstraZeneca quantities were ordered in large quantities; the problem was that the supplier did not fulfill its obligations, which meant that large quantities did not arrive in Lithuania at the beginning of the year, which should have been achieved. But in that case, we can still do our duty as world citizens and help the countries that are more difficult, ”said I. Šimonytė.
According to her, the third dose of the vaccine will also be considered, but the conclusions and recommendations of the scientists are not yet awaited.
“There are no final recommendations for governments to be approved by the European Medicines Agency. I think those discussions will continue maybe even into mid-summer, and in the fall, the maintenance of immunity is likely to start, the vaccine regimen unique. A few months later, specifically, I still haven’t heard that answer, “said I. Šimonytė.
The first vaccine was received by the Prime Minister on March 22. Then, setting an example to the public, all heads of state were publicly vaccinated: President Gitanas Nausėda, President of Seimas Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, Minister of Health Arūnas Dulkys. Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) was soon vaccinated by other ministers and members of the Seimas.
