Romania has opened a vaccination center at Nadlac II Border Crossing
The Romanian authorities are trying to persuade as many people as possible to get vaccinated against COVID-19, with a focus on people living in rural areas, where immunization caravans are due to be organized in the upcoming period. Romanians will be able to receive a COVID shot on the border, after they also had the chance to be vaccinated in drive-through centers or other unconventional spaces. A vaccination center has been opened on Wednesday at Nadlac II Border Crossing and is available to everyone crossing the border. Authorities say that the operating schedule is limited for the time being, but the vaccination center is bound to become operational non-stop. The measure will also be enforced in a few days time at Nadlac I Border Crossing.
