“There is no room for any actions beyond the sequence in the case of vaccinations,” PO leader Borys Budka said, commenting on celebrities' vaccinations out of sequence. And the Left MEP Robert Biedroń added that there was supposed to be a promotion campaign, and the cronyism came out. Opposition politicians commented on Twitter on Saturday that a group of politicians and actors were vaccinated out of turn.
"Each dose of the vaccine delivered in violation of the schedule is a dose that may be missing in those in need. Institutions that have allowed this practice and people who use their position to obtain the vaccine out of sequence harm the National Vaccination Program," Prime Minister Morawiecki stated on Twitter.
In turn, the president of the Supreme Medical Council, prof. Andrzej Matyja stated that such an interpretation as we are hearing now is unacceptable. In his opinion, it should be clearly and legibly stated who vaccinated whom and by what means.
The Medical University of Warsaw informed this week that from the pool of additional 450 doses of vaccines, which, regardless of the zero stage of vaccination involving medical personnel, received from the Material Reserves Agency and which had to be used by the end of the year, 300 employees of WUM hospitals and a group of 150 people including families of employees, patients under the care of hospitals and facilities of the Medical University of Warsaw, including 18 famous figures of culture and art who agreed to become ambassadors of the universal vaccination campaign. This group included, among others former Prime Minister and MEP of Left Leszek Miller, actors: Krystyna Janda, Maria Seweryn, Wiktor Zborowski, satirist and director Krzysztof Materna, and TVN program director Edward Miszczak.
Actress Maria Seweryn has published a video on social media in which she apologizes for taking the opportunity to vaccinate against Covid-19 out of turn.
"I made a mistake. Please, separate the wonderful campaign from me," she said.
