The vaccination campaign is going in a completely wrong direction in Romania, the number of those being vaccinated falling so much that the authorities decided to postpone the import of 2.4 million doses of Pfizer BioNTech vaccine in our country in June.
Romania was supposed to receive 4.366.444 doses of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine, but it will receive only 1.928.162, with 2.438 million doses less and it would not be excluded that in July and August similar decisions will be made due to the decrease in the number of vaccinations.
Romania has received over 14 million doses of vaccine from various companies so far, using 60% of them, and while in the developed countries of Europe hundreds of thousands of people are vaccinated per day, we refuse to receive 2.4 million doses because we have nothing to do with them.
"A procedure is already underway to align the legal framework, with the legal norms that allow the resale of doses by the Ministry of Health, but for the next period, as I said, given the fact that there is a surplus of doses, precisely for to have the most efficient stock management was discussed and a suspension of a number of doses was transmitted as follows: for the vaccine doses produced by BioNTech-Pfizer, for the month of June we had to receive a total of 4.366.444 vaccine doses , however, as a result of the request to hold for a period we will receive a 1.928.162 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.”
