According to her, the decision will be announced by the Ministry of Health at a press conference at 9 am. According to her, the vaccination registry will begin as soon as the ministry approves the decision.

Lithuanian Radio was the first to announce the decision to vaccinate children from Monday.

In Lithuania, all residents over the age of 16 can currently be vaccinated, which can be done with the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccines, which would also be given to twelve-year-olds. His vaccination with Comirnaty was approved by the European Medicines Agency in late May.

Children from the age of twelve have already been vaccinated in Italy, Germany and other countries.

The AstraZeneca vaccine may be ahead

“Everyone will be able to advance, under certain conditions,” Shuksta told BNS on Monday.

The second AstraZeneca vaccine is usually given 12 weeks after the first, but it can still be given, for example, to educators and graduates for objective reasons. For this, it is necessary to contact the coordinator of the vaccinating municipality.

Meanwhile, the one week delay in vaccination with all vaccines in the registry system can be done independently. The date can only be changed during the week for which the second automatically scheduled dose is scheduled.
