The work of the people in the vaccination centers has made us the first among our neighbors. Thank you for vaccinate! ”, Summarizes the minister.
For its part, the Presidency says it sees room for a faster rate of vaccination against COVID-19 in Lithuania.
“There is room to accelerate vaccination, the current rate of vaccination has been what it was, and there are opportunities to accelerate that rate of vaccination in the coming days,” Simonas Krėpšta, senior adviser to the president, said at a press conference on Thursday. .
According to him, only if the rate of vaccination accelerates with the introduction of more and more vaccines in the country, will it be possible to avoid the problem of vaccine storage.
“If the rate really accelerates and we have 10 thousand and more vaccinated people (ELTA per day), this risk will not be due to accumulation of stored vaccines. If the rate does not increase, it can happen, because the vaccine supply is growing and will grow especially fast in the second quarter of this year, “said S. Krėpšta.
The presidency claims that Lithuania should aim to vaccinate 70% of COVID-19 by mid-summer. populations.
