Lithuania has received 138,200 doses of an Omicron-adapted coronavirus vaccine, the Health Ministry reports.
The vaccine targeting the BA.4 and BA.5 coronavirus sub-variants will be used for the first or second booster shots, with producers expected to deliver more than half a million adapted vaccine doses in October.
The second booster shot of the vaccine will be available to people aged 18 and over, according to the ministry.
Some 70% of the Lithuanian population have received at least one coronavirus vaccine jab so far.
Just over a third of the population has been vaccinated with the first booster dose and 5,300 people have received their second booster shot. (LRT/Business World Magazine)
