According to the president’s spokesman, Antanas Bubnelis, the president’s father was vaccinated in February. A. Nausėda, 91, has already been vaccinated with both doses of the vaccine.
“He was vaccinated in the age group, he is now 91 years old. The president’s father feels strong and well after the vaccination, and now, as always,” the comment said. lrytas.lt Submitted by A. Bubnelis.
Building confidence in the vaccine
Head of State G. Nausėda also mentioned public rumors related to mistrust of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
“I can say calmly and clearly that if anyone has any doubts about the reliability of the AstraZeneca vaccine, I am ready to be vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine when it is my turn,” promised G. Nausėda.
The president stressed that it is not worth spreading rumors and scandals about this vaccine.
“Today, perhaps the Lithuanian public broadcaster itself, LRT, should pay close attention to the information campaign. Today, the information campaign, which is at the disposal of the central government, really needs to be more active, more targeted at people, ”he said.
It is necessary to prepare for mass vaccination.
When evaluating the general vaccination rates, the head of state assured that they could improve.
“Let’s understand one thing, that what we have now, even 10 thousand. vaccinations per day, this is just a training before a truly massive vaccination, which, I believe, will start in Lithuania in the second quarter of the year. So the quantities of vaccines that will reach us will allow us to vaccinate both 30 and 35 thousand people a day (..)
Today, those debates and those disputes about numbers, about deadlines, seem increasingly frustrating to me, because both the Government and the President agree that we must use all the vaccine, the vaccines that we have and vaccinate people as quickly as possible. “If we agree on this, then we have to talk about ambition, about the need to get vaccinated and prepare for a much more abundant vaccination,” said the president.
According to him, it is very important that large Lithuanian cities are ready for mass vaccination. Kaunas is an example of that preparation.
When asked how he assessed the coronavirus rates that did not improve, the president, citing the example of Israel, assured that the main solution at this time was vaccination.
“As long as we’re only talking about quarantine, we don’t have magic recipes here. We need a clear answer: let’s toughen up, relax the quarantine, we will probably have the third and fourth waves of the pandemic. We will count the waves, we will count when we open, when we close again. Basically a reliable tool is vaccination.
It may not be a panacea, there are varieties that are spreading today and the longer we delay, there may be more varieties, but we must do what we can, ”said the Head of State.
According to G. Nausėda, it is difficult to wait without the opening of the mass vaccination economy and the liberation of life.
