I flew from Klaipeda after a day of service in the so-called reactor (department of coronavirus patients – aut.). The mood is disgusting, tired. Even though it was only 10 o’clock, we thought we have to get ready, we’re getting the kids ready, we’re wearing shoes. And then we got a call from the main nurse: you don’t drive anymore because you don’t have the vaccine anymore. The man went numb. We were waiting for that vaccine as a Christmas present! “
Didn’t the nurse say no?
According to the doctor, no information was given on when he could be vaccinated. The couple began to wonder what had happened.

And the list of doctors who were the first to receive the vaccine?
“It just came to our knowledge then. The lists were compiled several times. If you do it according to the jungle principle, why do we damage the paper, imitating the work? Someone there writes everything, counts it and then follows the way it it came out, ”he said.
The doctor was vaccinated on Tuesday.
Piesliakė said that she had approached the management, but the representatives of the hospital administration asked her the difference and assured that she and her husband would be vaccinated later.

“The noise occurred, both the mayor and the municipality, everyone knows everything. But yesterday it was not clear if we would get the vaccine today. To was anxious because they told us “possibly”, “maybe”. Of course, it’s better later than never, ”said A. Piesliakė.
Hospital representative: We received the vaccine twice
Tomas Grenoveckas, Deputy Medical Director of Šilutė Hospital, in written responses 15 minutes He explained that workers who do not belong to the priority groups who do not provide emergency care will not be vaccinated at this time.
According to T. Grenoveck, the hospital ordered a total of 84 vaccinations and received 80.
Initially, he said, it was assumed that the treatment facility would receive 80 vaccines on the same day, but that number was received within two days.
So maybe the person was not vaccinated the first day, but will be vaccinated the second
“So maybe the person was not vaccinated on the first day, but they will be vaccinated on the second day.” 15 minutes questions, he said.
According to the doctor, the vaccination process at the facility took place over two days: Monday and Tuesday.
“The vaccination of medical personnel began on December 28 at approximately 8 pm The first 40 workers were vaccinated that day. Today, December 29, another 40 medical workers will be vaccinated. These are doctors, nurses, their assistants who work in the COVID-19 unit, Resuscitation-Intensive Care, Reception-Emergency Units and Mobile Control Post, and others who provide emergency care ”, explain the answers.
Grenoveck said that no one had received the vaccine from the administration, nor had he been vaccinated himself, “because someone from the employees needs the vaccine more.”
“The most important thing is that the 80 employees of the institution who work in the aforementioned departments, as well as those who are at high risk of developing COVID-19, will be vaccinated. Of these, there is no order in which the first doctor should be vaccinated. We are happy that 80 doses of the vaccine have been received and it can be said that they are reserved for a specific person, so all those who belong to the priority groups will be vaccinated ”, affirm the answers.
According to him, employees are vaccinated at the time that suits them, and it is certainly not the case that only all COVID-19 employees are vaccinated first, and when they are vaccinated, only then, for example, the staff of the department of Reception-Emergencies.
“It also doesn’t matter if the employee occupies the position of department head or not. The employees of the aforementioned departments are vaccinated, as well as the doctors on duty, who provide emergency care, consult patients in the Admission-Emergencies Department ”, explained the deputy director of Medicine.
