At the Santara clinics, COVID-19 has 79 doctors vaccinated with the first dose of the vaccine, the treatment facility said Thursday.
Employees could become infected with coronavirus both before and after vaccination, because a dose of the vaccine still does not develop immunity to the disease, explained Gitana Letukienė, representative of the Santara clinics.
“Antibodies start to be produced 11 to 12 days after the first vaccination, but this protection is not enough, so a second vaccination is needed to make the process more effective,” he said.
A spokeswoman for the Santara clinics said it was now decided not to vaccinate people who were ill and received the first dose of the vaccine with a second dose of the vaccine, and the decision would be made later with antibody tests.
“It looks like they will need two vaccines again later,” G. Letukienė added.
More than 4,500 of the approximately 6,000 workers are currently vaccinated at the Santara clinics. On Friday, the treatment center plans to complete the first dose of the vaccination process.
According to the Department of Statistics, 31,500 people have been vaccinated with the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Lithuania so far.
