Overloaded mobile point
Kretinga district residents who have registered on the hotline or online, as before, are screened at the mobile checkpoint near the Motobola stadium. According to Z. Abelkienė, depending on the laboratories, the tests are performed both from the nasal cavity and from the nasopharynx.
“Test volumes are increasing, doctors are working at full capacity: on average, 50-85 tests are performed per day and last Monday, 123. Sometimes there are even two shifts, and we are already facing the problem of human resources. doctors are lacking, “said Arnas Juškys, director of the Kretinga Primary Health Care Center (PSPC), responsible for the work on this point.

Used 9 thousand. vaccine dose
According to Z. Abelkienė, 51 percent were vaccinated in the Kretinga district. older people, and their vaccination resources are already exhausted, they no longer want or they are sick. “The centers lack human resources: doctors have to call, persuade, listen to reproaches and post-hearts, as if they needed vaccines, not the people themselves,” said the municipal doctor.
Vaccination priorities are now given to the chronically ill, care and care for people and their families, merchants, as well as all employees of the educational system and institutions that perform important functions: police, fire brigade, water management, municipality, food providers.

Vaccination Center: Shaking Responsibility
In the district municipality of Kretinga, following the example of other municipalities in the country, the possibility of establishing a Vaccination Center was considered, owing its administration to Kretinga PSPC. However, the director of this medical institution, A. Juškys, did not hide his ability to persuade the Municipality that it would be too heavy a burden for them to additionally care for 2 units related to the coronavirus: the Mobile Point and the Vaccination Center.
“Vaccination would be the responsibility of all health facilities in the district, but the administration should certainly not rest on our shoulders. I believe that an experienced management specialist and his team should take over the administration,” A. Juškys was pleased to hear. that the leaders of the municipality listen to their arguments, because the doctors of the PSPC already lack too much work.
Z. Abelkienė did not hide the fact that private medical centers are also shaking the responsibility of the administration, so the optimal option is still being sought. In his opinion, the right place to open the Vaccination Center would be the Kretinga District Cultural Center, but he questioned whether the latter’s activities would not be completely paralyzed.
