Vaccination for judges
The Lithuanian Ministry of Health explained to the Lithuanian judges that judges can be vaccinated in order of priority, although they are not directly identified as a priority group in the order of Minister Arūnas Dulkis.
Judges, unlike the police, intelligence or border agents, are not explicitly named as a priority group in a ministerial order. However, the order maintains that “other vital state functions, different from the general ones, that are in contact with other people when the functions cannot be carried out remotely” may also be vaccinated as a priority.
The Council of Judges asked the Ministry of Health to clarify whether they could fall into this category, and on Tuesday received a positive response that judges, together with court clerks and court clerks, could be vaccinated as a priority.
The ministry has indicated that judges should contact the municipal vaccination coordinator for vaccines.
