“The government is preparing for a mass vaccination, which will probably start on June 1,” G. Balčytytė said during a remote press conference after the government meeting on Friday.

“During mass vaccination, it will be necessary to agree with 1.5 million. population, which means there will have to be about 3 million. vaccination, so the process is really complex and on a large scale. People will need to know when, with which vaccine they will be vaccinated, when, whether or not they will be able to. “
“In this case, the use of information and communication technologies is very important in this process,” added the Chancellor.
The government promises to devise a way to communicate the possibility of vaccination to those who do not have access to information technology.
“As some people will not be able or will not have access to information technology, it will be necessary to provide them with another way to register. That issue is also being discussed and is on the agenda,” said G. Balčytytė.
When asked if the registry for mass vaccination will be centralized or if municipalities use their own systems now, the Chancellor of the Government said that he was moving towards the first option.
It is desirable that this is a national system.
“It is desirable that it be a national system, then the action is easier. But all technical possibilities must be evaluated, “he said, but noted that this has not yet been decided.
