Experts discussed mandatory vaccination for representatives of certain professions on Tuesday in the “Dienos žinios” program of Žinių radijo.

Sparrow – if a fully vaccinated person gets sick, nothing to worry about

Professor Aurelija Žvirblienė from the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center, speaking about the third dose of the vaccine, which the authorities are already talking about, explained that the booster vaccination is aimed at strengthening the existing immune response.

“Repeated exposure to the same antigen is known to enhance the immune response,” said the professor.

According to her, myths and unfounded liars about the composition of vaccines are spreading on the Internet.

“It’s a graphene oxide issue. Anyone can see the composition of the vaccine, it is publicly available and there is no graphene oxide there. There are such myths in the series that any lie is simply triggered and people are intimidated by it.” said A. Žvirblienė.

The researcher stressed that the vaccine protects against the course of serious illness and death, and this is shown by the statistics. Still, you don’t have to worry about getting sick if you’re fully vaccinated, she shouldn’t say much.

“I don’t see any reason to worry. The vaccine prevented him from becoming seriously ill, undergoing resuscitation and the course of the disease from being severe. We shouldn’t curse vaccines too much now if a person is still infected with the virus, ”said a VU professor.

According to A. Žvirblienė, it is necessary to strive to achieve the largest possible number of vaccinated people in the elderly population and in the risk group.

“I would be in favor of that in high-risk groups, in older groups, that percentage should be 90 percent. and above. Probably 100 percent. it would be nice to have it, because it would significantly reduce the risk of congestion in those patients who are at higher risk, ”said A. Žvirblienė.

Therefore, as she taught, unvaccinated people should feel responsible on two sides: one side, according to A. Žvirblienė, is responsible for their health, the other side, that a large number of patients unbalance the health system and a seriously ill person not vaccinated. it can occupy other patients.

“People who refuse to get vaccinated seem to say, ‘I am at risk of getting seriously ill.’ After saying A, we should say B. If such a person, maybe they will sign some kind of letter asking me not to be hospitalized and not to save my life if I get sick. Then I would understand that one person assumes all responsibility ”, said the interlocutor.

Tamošauskas: no company knows how to behave after September 13.

Raimondas Tamošauskas, president of the Lithuanian Food Union, pointed out in the program that a large part of society is still immunized.

“It just came to our knowledge then. People who will have that immunity in one form or another: 70 percent. Vaccinated, 20 percent. Who have been sick, others who don’t know it yet,” said R. Tamošauskas.

He said that several large companies had conducted studies that showed that about 20 percent. the workers did not know they had antibodies.

According to R. Tamošauskas, the health care system must adapt to pandemics.

“100 or 200 million. With the help of the euro, we can build a normal hospital in each city and prepare to have specialized departments to treat the disease, these outbreaks, medicine and the medical system will not collapse,” said the interlocutor.

He said companies are not ready for September 13 due to uncertainty.

“No company knows how to proceed after September 13. (…) The framework of the law is how to do it, but how to do these tests …”, said R. Tamošauskas.

Gudlevičienė: It is strange to hear that companies do not know where and how to evaluate employees

These words from R. Tamošauskas surprised Živilė Gudlevičienė, health adviser to the prime minister.

“We should analyze what the pandemic management measures are and have been. When there was no vaccination, there were vaccines, so we caught infected people, we isolated them so that the pandemic would not spread. Now that the vaccination process is already underway In full swing and there is no shortage of vaccines, this measure should play a key role in managing the pandemic. The state made sure that there was no shortage of vaccines for everyone, “the participant emphasized.

According to her, the test flows in the companies had to be compiled and it was decided who paid for the tests of the unvaccinated employees: the employee or the employer.

“It’s strange to hear that now all of a sudden no one knows where to do the test. The same test points, the same institutions that conduct the tests, continue to exist.” Ž. Gudlevičienė.

Varkulevičius: on the 13th, production will simply not be possible in some companies

Rimas Varkulevičius, president of the Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, declares that on September 13 some companies will simply not be able to work.

“On the 13th, in some companies, production will simply not be possible, because not all employees will be able to reach the machines, lines, production, some will not be able to provide services. All this will answer. Some companies even take measures themselves, offer bonuses (…) so that those who get vaccinated do so ”, recalled the interlocutor.

According to him, there is currently insufficient communication and an underestimation of the particularities of the business sectors.

“Mandatory vaccination one way or another will reach the public, but there must be a transition period for that,” said R. Varkulevičius.

Strike: a balance must be struck so that the virus no longer causes so much trouble

Oncoinmunologist Marius Strioga explained that the goal is to vaccinate 90 percent. Society is a more mathematical model, which, he said, simply requires seeking the broadest possible vaccination in society to control the spread of a pandemic.

“That herd or herd immunity is more of a mathematical model,” Strioga said.

“Our goal now is to push the virus as far underground as possible, making it an endemic virus, probably seasonal, which will let us know about itself from time to time, but in a broad sense, it will not cause the consequences and risks that it means for a great number of people ”, explained the expert.

According to him, although you will have to live with the virus, you need to find a balance so that it no longer causes so many problems.

“The decrease in the antibody titer does not mean that a person is completely unprotected, but they are more likely to be able to spread the virus if they are infected for a longer period of time. The vast majority of people are likely to be protected from consequences. serious ”, said the onimologist.

Mr. Strioga also pointed out that the booster vaccination was also necessary for vaccines against other diseases.

“There are many vaccines that require booster doses at certain times,” he emphasized.
