“Based on the latest list of priority groups, we would consider mass vaccination to start when we have finished vaccinating the main priority groups. (…) According to preliminary estimates, this could be in June this summer, ”L. Galkus told Lithuanian radio on Friday.
According to him, the start of mass vaccination will also depend on how actively representatives of priority groups are vaccinated, how vaccine manufacturers will follow the established schedule.
“You have to take into account that the date is very flexible, since it will depend on how actively the previous groups are vaccinated and it will also depend on the obligations of the vaccine manufacturers, the delivery of the vaccine itself,” said L. Galkus .
“When we finish vaccinating patients over 65 with chronic diseases, teachers and important social functions, there is a large group followed by everyone else, and from then on we would consider mass vaccination,” said a SAM spokesperson.
Diana Vilytė, Director of Service Management at the Registry Center, stated that with the start of mass vaccination, the electronic health system will support a large number of applicants, but those who wish to register must differentiate themselves.
“The Records Center may say that e. health is ready for the day, the only question is that we still do not know how the amounts of vaccines will differ, if there will be age groups, if there will be any other option, if the system will be completely open ”. D. Vilytė told Lithuanian Radio.
“For any other system, a large number of referrals at the same time can certainly be challenging, but it can be managed by distributing the flow of referrals evenly across age groups,” said a Center for Records spokeswoman.
L. Galkus indicated that at the beginning of mass vaccination of the population, they would be distributed by age groups in order of priority, but a more precise distribution will be based on the quantities of vaccines received.
“Those under 65 could be grouped into certain subgroups, and we will decide when we know how many vaccines will be delivered to the country, so that we can self-assess those ranges,” said L. Galkus.
According to data from the Department of Statistics, in Lithuania more than 300 thousand have been vaccinated with at least the first dose so far. population, almost 11 percent. of the entire population of the country. Seniors are currently being vaccinated in the country, and all people over 65 will be vaccinated by educators, diplomats, and patients with various diseases.
