Romania has administered 10 million doses of anti-COVID-19 vaccine
Romania has administered more than ten million doses of a vaccine against COVID-19, the National Vaccination Committee has announced on Thursday. More than 18,400 people have received a vaccine in the last 24 hours, 15,600 of them getting the first shot. Prime Minister Florin Citu has appealed for more people to get vaccinated.
Florin Citu: Vaccination is the only solution to the pandemic. The green certificate or some restrictions now and then, closures and so on will not solve this problem. The pandemic problem will only get solved through vaccination and I will continue to say that every time. If we want to get past this pandemic, we have to get vaccinated. It is very simple. I believe that is much more important that this effort is also multiplied by a responsible behavior from each of us.
