“(…) we are receiving more and more information, and not only in Lithuania, that there is a risk of a black market forming for the vaccine,” STT director Žydrūnas Bartkus said during a meeting on Thursday. of the Seimas Defense and National Security Committee (NSGC).
According to him, there is currently no data that such a process takes place in Lithuania, but the risk arises. According to Ž. Bartkus, the beginnings of the black market are in other states.
The STT head argued that this required constant monitoring of certain data that could indicate the presence or absence of a black market.
According to him, knowing how many doses of vaccines have been distributed to health institutions, the three components must coincide: how many people have been vaccinated, how many doses have been left in the institutions and how many have been lost.
“If the amount of crumbs or other losses from the vaccine were high, it would indicate the magnitude of the risk that that sixth dose or the supposedly broken vaccine could have entered the black market,” Ž. Bartkus.
He argued that currently STTs do not have the ability to control such data due to delays in the introduction of information in e-health, which is often variable.
According to data from the Department of Statistics, currently in Lithuania the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is 56 thousand. 358 people, in both doses: 8262 people.
Vaccines in Lithuania are made with vaccines from BioNTech and Pfizer and Moderna.
