“Lithuania’s main task now is simply to define a strategy, (…) to agree on what goal we want to achieve in the vaccination strategy, how to prepare for autumn and how to prepare for a new vaccination cycle, next year, what should be the vaccine procurement strategy, what should be diversification, “I. Šimonytė told reporters on Wednesday.

“Since quarantine and quarantine regulation, we are moving more towards vaccination and related issues,” he added.

The Prime Minister said that changes in government experts are inevitable.

“It is really difficult for experts to sacrifice a lot of personal time, the time left from main work, family, science and other activities, sometimes considering how many square meters are needed for any activity,” said I. Šimonytė.

“Naturally, there comes a time when work or other commitments begin to conflict with this social activity,” he said.

Vaidotas Zemlys-Balevičius, mathematician, data scientist and Laimonas Griškevičius, representative of the Santara clinics, Ingrida Olendraitė, virologist working in Cambridge, and Tumas Beinortas, physician at Cambridge University Hospital, announced their resignation from the Advisory Board of the Government on the weekend.

According to the head of government, “now the expert council is full of several new members.”

“I am very grateful to all the experts who contributed to the Expert Council in mid-December and worked very hard and tirelessly. I don’t think that any of us, including the experts themselves, expected the Board of Experts to work so long and so long, because the initial dynamics of the pandemic were favorable and if we had not faced the third wave, we would only be facing vaccination today and the The situation would be different, ”said the Prime Minister.
