When they learned about the introduction of Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines, on April 23, many people from the priority groups rushed to manavakcina en to change the date of their previous registration from next week to today to receive them, reports TV3 News.
So far, some people have refused to be vaccinated when offered an AstraZeneca vaccine. They stressed that they were waiting for the introduction of Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines. On April 23, it was very clear that the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine was listed higher in many people’s subjective assessments. As soon as it was announced this morning that these vaccines would be available at the six major vaccination centers today, 23 April, and over the weekend, all the appointments were already booked around afternoon, and that is how thousands of doses are available today and this weekend. True, reservations for the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine were made today as tickets to a popular singer’s concert.
Upon learning of the delivery of the vaccines, on April 23, many people from the priority groups rushed to manavakcina en to change the date of their previous appointment from next week to today – not knowing when Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines will be available again.
“I had signed up for another date, but found out that Pfizer was here and wanted the vaccine,” says Regina, a resident I met.
Those responsible for the vaccination project say that such a last-minute action by changing the vaccination date is easy to implement right from this week, with the improved version of the website manavakcina.lv, when changes to calendars now take place automatically.

Today, April 23, and over the weekend, 6,000 doses of Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine were delivered at six vaccination centers. As soon as the availability of this manufacturer’s vaccines was announced in the morning, already around 16 in the afternoon, all reservation times in Riga, Daugavpils, Cēsis, Jūrmala and Ventspils were caught as hot pies. It is the availability of the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine that has led some people to get vaccinated.
“It simply came to our notice then. I read the news in the morning. To some extent, what was known – will be [pieejama] specific vaccine. In the morning there were free windows, and I applied, ”says Ilze from Riga.
Daiga from Riga also says that she went to be vaccinated today, knowing that Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines will be available, because there is more internal security than them.
Although experts emphasize that all brands of officially registered vaccines against Covid-19 are safe and will all help prevent severe Covid-19, Pfizer / BioNTech ranks higher in the subjective assessment of people.-
One in three asks if it’s really the Pfizer vaccine, sitting next to me. The interest in it is greater than in Astra Zeneca, ”says Zigurds Lasovskis, a member of the board of the Association of Health Centers.
After the vaccination of Pfizer / BioNTech to the vaccination point at the ATTA center in Riga today, April 23, several people, such as Elena, who had not previously applied to the website manavakcina.lv, were in a hurry. They don’t know them. The preferred Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine was received because the priority group qualified by age.
“It simply came to our notice then. Only today I found out and came to the dullo, ”says Elena from Riga.
The site manavakcina.lv has a lot of free registration places for next week. From this week, everyone can choose the most convenient date, time and place. Because the advanced system is linked to different registries, anyone can find out if they are in one of the priority groups and if vaccination has started.
“I don’t want to get sick, I don’t want to infect others, I want to travel, I want to go sit in a cafe and go to the theater,” Alina from Riga explains the decision to get vaccinated.
Those responsible for the vaccination project continue to specifically encourage seniors to apply for the vaccine. Their coverage is still insufficient. In the age group 60-70 years 23% were vaccinated, people over 70 years – 32%. Therefore, next week a special emphasis will be placed on measures to stimulate vaccination of seniors against Covid-19, as well as it is planned to pay special attention to Latgale, the Minister of Health Daniels Pavļuts (AP) has promised.
