But since different employees will be vaccinated, both care institutions and nursing institutions will be vaccinated by our mobile teams, and employees working in mobile points and fever clinics will be vaccinated by their colleagues at the Kaunas Central Post Office, we will vaccinate both those and those in parallel, “said Eltai.
