“The STT has publicly assessed COVID-19 vaccination cases in non-priority potentially vaccinated individuals as a risk of corruption, and has decided to conduct an anti-corruption assessment of the COVID-19 vaccination organization,” said a spokeswoman for STT.
The Office intends to assess the risk of corruption when compiling priority vaccination lists; how lists are updated when people on them refuse to be vaccinated; how vaccinated people are registered; if the people actually vaccinated belong to the priority vaccination groups established and published by the SAM.
When Lithuania began getting vaccinated with COVID-19 in late December, there were reports that vaccines are sometimes given to doctors who do not have direct contact with coronavirus patients.
At a meeting of the Seimas Health Affairs Committee on Wednesday, its chairman, Antanas Matulas, stated that around 60 different medical complaints have been received about, in his opinion, disproportionately distributed vaccines.
This week, BNS reported that several teachers who currently did not have a contract with him had been vaccinated at the Žalgiris Clinic of the Vilnius University Hospital.
On Saturday it was announced that the director of the Ambulansas company, which runs the city’s ambulance station, and his relatives had been vaccinated in Šilalė.
President Gitanas Nausėda said on Facebook on Saturday that it was necessary to make swift and decisive decisions about the responsibility of vaccination procedures for offenders. The head of state said he had demanded a clear and detailed vaccination procedure and suggestions on how to remedy the situation from Health Minister Arūnas Dulkis, with whom he intends to meet on Monday.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė claims that the responsibility for implementing adequate vaccination rests with the directors of medical institutions.
According to data from the Statistics Department on Saturdays, a total of almost 22,2 thousand people have already been vaccinated in Lithuania. people.
The situation was discussed with the head of the STT
Laurynas Kasčiūnas, chairman of the Seimas Defense and National Security Committee of the TS-LKD faction, stated that he had also spoken with Žydrūnas Bartkus, director of the Special Investigation Service (STT), about the vaccine situation.
“The State must already take stricter measures, because calls to act responsibly, to adhere to the principles of law and humanity do not work. We keep hearing more and more cases. So I just spoke with the Director of the Special Investigation Service Ž. Bartkus and asked the STT to take legal action against the abuse of the COVID-19 vaccine. Law enforcement authorities must use their tools to ensure that those who engage in this abuse no longer feel unpunished.
These members of the medical community can no longer have a place in the Lithuanian health care system if we want to make it more transparent and efficient, ”L. Kasčiūnas wrote on Facebook.
The politician called it “what began when the vaccination plan was already implemented in medical institutions, during this war with the coronavirus.”
“Hospital directors, influential members of the medical elite and their relatives and politicians bravely evaded the minister’s order and established queues, spitting in solidarity with fellow or weaker members of society, began to be vaccinated. without any moral or formal rights. Of something, perhaps even stealing health or life.
It is especially intolerable when the best doctors do it and do it cynically, trying to stifle the media so that their disgusting violations are not known to the public: the behavior of Vytautė Pečiulienė, the director of the Žalgiris Clinic of the University Hospital of Vilnius, who is not vaccinated in this condition. “The people involved, including the relatives of high-ranking politicians, and the public speaking of the falsehood require a principled assessment from the founders of this hospital (the Ministry of Health (the investigation has already started) and the University of Vilnius) and an answer on whether the head of that moral can continue to run the Kasčiūnas university hospital.
Conservatives appealed to the Attorney General
On Saturday, members of Seimas Andrius Vyšniauskas, Jurgita Sejonienė, and Paulė Kuzmickienė addressed the Attorney General’s Office to defend the public interest and initiate pre-trial investigations in several cases in which people who do not have the COVID-19 vaccine are vaccinated in separate medical institutions.
“At least four establishments have publicly registered cases of vaccination against COVID-19 by unauthorized persons. We consider that such behavior on the part of those responsible for the institutions or others responsible for the vaccination process in specific institutions is extremely harmful and contrary to the public interest Such cases will not be tolerated, ”say the Seimas members who signed the petition.
According to the authors of the application, a transparent vaccination process in hospitals and other medical institutions is extremely important to ensure the public’s confidence in the vaccine itself. The government and the Ministry of Health are making great efforts to speed up the vaccination process, to reach the largest possible number of vaccines in the country and, above all, for those who work on the front lines. Unfortunately, such isolated cases in various institutions simply discredit the process. The Office of the Attorney General of the Nation can and should prevent these cases.
The Seimas members approached the General Prosecutor’s Office and mentioned the cases publicly reported at UAB Ambulansa in Šilalė, Vilnius University Hospital, Žalgiris Clinic, Panevėžys Republican Hospital and Šilutė Hospital.
