The Vilnius District Polyclinic, which initially claimed that part of the vaccines were used on Wednesday, later changed positions.
Statistics show that 99 people were vaccinated with AstraZeneca on Wednesday.
“These figures do not mean that people were vaccinated on March 17. Some institutions enter data into the system later due to workload or other characteristics of the work organization. There are human factors to understand: it is more important to vaccinate more people and postpone introduction into the system for a reasonable period of time, ”explained the representative of the Minister of Health, Aistė Šuksta.
“People were not vaccinated with this vaccine on Wednesday,” he added.
Lithuanian Statistics did not release this data for some time on Thursday, but this information was made available following a request from BNS.
A representative of the Vilnius District Polyclinic changed the version
By Wednesday, vaccines were included in the districts of Klaipėda, Akmenė, Varėna and other municipalities.
The Klaipėda City BNS, Akmenė and Varėna district offices that carried out the vaccination confirmed that after receiving the SAM instruction on Tuesday evening, AstraZeneca was no longer used on Wednesday, and the data was moved to the next day after checking in late at night. .
Daiva Kubaitienė, deputy chief physician of the Vilnius district polyclinic, told BNS on Wednesday that five people had been vaccinated with the vaccine at the polyclinic’s outpatient clinic in Rudamina in the early hours of Wednesday, but later denied it.
“On March 16, 13 vaccines were administered and signed late at night. But on the 17th, we also did five, because we had called people early in the morning, we had not made a decision. They reported, everything is in order, but our own information before going to the outpatient clinic … they vaccinated the remaining five doses early in the morning, starting at 7 am, starting on the 16th, Rudamina outpatient ”, said D. Kubaitien. BNS.
He later contacted the BNS and presented another version: that the vaccination took place on Tuesday and that the data was simply collected later.
“The data was added the next day,” he said. D. Kudabienė did not explain why he presented different versions.
One such case was registered in Kaunas. Paulius Kibiša, director of the Kaunas City Polyclinic, also stated that the AstraZeneca vaccine was not vaccinated on Wednesday, and the case probably means that the form due to the vaccine entered the electronic health system the next day.
No data due to programming error

By Thursday afternoon, data on how many people had been vaccinated the day before had not shown up on the scoreboards.

On Tuesday night, Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys announced the temporary suspension of vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine until the European Medicines Agency presents final conclusions on the connection of thromboembolic cases with the vaccine.
