A. Dulkys also sends a message to doctors at other medical institutions: similar cases will not be tolerated in the future.

The minister wishes to draw attention to the fact that a state of emergency and quarantine has been declared in the country. Such and similar cases of COVID-19 vaccination, if they occur in the future in health facilities outside the Ministry, the emergency manager at the state level could, depending on the nature and extent of the violation, instruct the municipal administration to investigate the case and decide on recourse to the police. “Said the minister’s advisor.

Vytautė Pečiulienė, director of the Žalgiris Clinic, told BNS that the teachers have been vaccinated because they have been working with patients and students since February 1; they are temporarily employed according to the usual procedure, since the VU Institute of Dentistry is the clinical base of the institution.

The director also confirmed that Laura Linkevičienė, the daughter of MEP Juozas Olekas, who told BNS that she works at the clinic, was among those vaccinated.

Her husband Tomas Linkevičius, who works with her at a private dental clinic, as well as Vytenis Almonaitis, who also has a private office at the Žalgiris Clinic, and Professor Irena Balčiūnienė, retired former director of the Institute of Dentistry, also received the vaccine.

According to V. Pečiulienė, these teachers would not have been vaccinated if the institution had not received a sufficient amount of vaccine.
