Valeriu Gheorghita Romania could Sell AstraZeneca Vaccines

Valeriu Gheorghita, the coordinator of the vaccination campaign against the Coronavirus in Romania, said that our country could sell the AstraZeneca vaccines received from the European Union and not used by us, all with the idea of ​​helping other countries that do not have access to the vaccine.

Valeriu Gheorghita says that Romania has 1.7 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in stock that the Romanians do not want, and that they can be donated, or resold, to other countries, but without making a profit, in the next Government meeting to be adopted the legal framework to do so.

"Addressability for this vaccine has decreased a lot, it is somehow a trend that can be found at the European level. That is precisely why, at the European level, a mechanism is being prepared, on the one hand for donation through the COVAX mechanism, or for resale to third countries. Including in Romania, this resale or donation mechanism is being prepared and it is very likely that this will happen, some will be donated, some will be resold. a declared Valeriu Gheorghita at DIGI 24."
