    In-person lines at vaccination centers to be made up of people from current priority groups

    RIGA, April 6 (LETA) - In-person lines at Covid-19 vaccination centers will be made up of people from the current priority groups, the health minister's advisor Lasma Bindere told LETA.

    When the experiment will begin has not yet been decided.

    As reported, Health Minister Daniels Pavluts (For Development) said this past Sunday that he would organize an in-person queue experiment for vaccination against Covid-19 in the coming days. He indicated that he planned to respond to calls for a live queue option, but that this would be done in a managed manner.

    "We must not create uncontrolled gatherings, confusion and epidemiological risks, nor must we ignore the situation of priority groups against people with a much lower risk of illness," the minister explained. The minister also apologized for some of the failures observed during the opening of large vaccination centers over the Easter holidays.

    According to Pavluts, from the technical point of view everything is in order - the centers are well prepared, working smoothly and able to vaccinate a large number of persons.
