Vaccination at Klaipėda Hospital / Klaipėda Hospital
Lithuania should receive the third batch of the BioNTech/Pfizer coronavirus vaccine next week, Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys said on Wednesday, shortly after the ministry said it had no information about the delivery.
“We have received information that another delivery of vaccines will reach Lithuania after January 4,” the minister told reporters after the cabinet s meeting.
“That means that we ll be able to continue the vaccination process and transport the second batch to the coordinating centres,” he added.
Dulkys said the exact delivery date for the third delivery is yet to be set, but he expects it to be “close” to January 4.
On Tuesday, Lithuania’s Health Ministry said it found 804 previously unaccounted coronavirus-related deaths. It was established that 324 deaths [of Covid-19] and 480 deaths of coronavirus-infected persons from other causes were not accounted for, the ministry said in a statement.
The discrepancy in numbers arose after comparing the October–December statistics at the National Public Health Centre, which was previously tasked with keeping track of the pandemic, with the data at the Lithuanian Centre of Registers.
The country’s Statistics Office, which publishes the daily Covid-19 reports, hasn’t yet updated the coronavirus death toll.
Due to a spiking number of infections, the information on Covid-19 deaths in the country could have been delayed due to an increased workload at the hospitals, according to Justina Petravičienė from the NVSC.

Lithuania s government does not know exactly how many doses of coronavirus vaccine the country will receive with the first batch this week, nor when and how many will come in the future, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said, noting that information from the European Commission was changing “by the hour”.
The first delivery of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines will reach Lithuania this week, she told reporters on Tuesday, but “afterwards, unfortunately, things are changing like in war”.
“I can only say that we are fully prepared for what happens this week, but I can t give any detailed comment on what happens next.”
