“This should be done on Monday,” NVSC spokeswoman Justina Petravičienė told BNS.
Following the detection of coronavirus infection in 14 people vaccinated with both doses at the Lauksargiai nursing home this week, the NVSC began clarifying circumstances at the vaccination facility on Wednesday.
According to Jovita Černeckienė, head of a residence located in the Tauragė district, the institution treated a total of 49 people, 44 of whom received the second dose of the vaccine about two weeks ago.
He said he could not say why the vaccinated wards were infected.
According to J.Petravičienė, specialists from the NVSC’s Tauragė department communicate with both the Lauksargiai care home administration and the administration of the Tauragė district primary health care center that carried out the vaccination.
“The specialists evaluate the documents and records related to the vaccination process, carry out a survey of the vaccination personnel, as well as a part of the residents of the residence. In addition, the NVSC contacted the laboratories that carried out PCR tests on the residents of the residence so that they did not destroy the samples, to carry out the sequencing and to evaluate if there is a “British” or other strain of the virus associated with these COVID . -19 cases in Lauksargiai. Hee
The Center emphasizes that while no vaccine protects against the disease one hundred percent, evaluating the proven efficacy of the vaccine and the fact that immunity has not developed for so many people raises legitimate questions that must be answered.
According to the NVSC representative, several hypotheses about the disease of the wards are being considered.
“Both possible mutations in the virus, damage to the cold chain and the vaccination process. (…) The specialists work to answer the questions that have arisen ”, explained J. Petravičienė.
This is not the first case in the country where coronavirus infections have been detected after the second dose of the vaccine.
The outbreak of a coronavirus outbreak at the Addere nursing home in Trakai this week confirmed the infection in three fully vaccinated residents.
