Especially the heads of state have broad public trust. When they get vaccinated, they send a message to the public that vaccination is beneficial and that vaccines should be trusted.
My imagination is that it would not be assumed that this is a possible privilege of the current government, it could be vaccinated, for example, by prime ministers. So are former prime ministers. This is Saulius Skvernelis, Ingrida Šimonytė, which shows that it does not matter if it is the opposition or the ruling majority, but the most important message for the Lithuanian people is that regardless of party affiliation, these people trust vaccination.
And that this is the only way to stop the pandemic that is hitting us all. This removes the political focus from the vaccination process, but at the same time preserves the message that public leaders are sending a signal, ”Landsbergis told Knowledge Radio.
At the time, President Gitanas Nausėda declared that he would not follow the example of the leaders of some other countries and that he would not be in a hurry to get vaccinated after the first vaccines appeared in Lithuania. According to the president, he will demonstrate to the public the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine in other ways and will vaccinate himself when it is his turn.
Two shipments of coronavirus vaccines have already arrived in Lithuania. The first shipment with 9,750 doses of vaccine arrived in Lithuania early Saturday morning. Lithuania started vaccination together with other European Union countries on December 27.
Monday 7 pm The second shipment of the vaccine, developed jointly by pharmaceutical companies BioNTech and Pfizer, was delivered to Vilnius airport in the morning. Another 10,725 doses of vaccine have reached Lithuania. The vaccination in this consignment is intended to be used for the second vaccination of already vaccinated medical personnel.
