Poland s ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) has suspended an MP after it was revealed he had received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Zbigniew Girzyński, a lawmaker from the Toruń district, admitted on social media he had taken the jab as a university lecturer but denied wrongdoing.
The country has given vaccine priority to medical and non-medical staff at healthcare facilities, as well as elderly citizens over the age of 70.
The head of the PiS Executive Committee, Krzysztof Sobolewski, confirmed on Tuesday the MP had been suspended as a member by the party s chairman, Jarosław Kaczyński. The rules apply to everyone, Sobolewski said on Twitter.
