A family doctor from Romania recommends Romanians to get vaccinated if they are part of the vulnerable categories, and this is because immunization offers them protection against serious forms of the disease, or even death.
At a time when the anti-COVID vaccination has reached the lowest rates in its entire period of availability, messages of this kind can still help some people to be convinced to immunize themselves.
""Each life saved remains our chance to get out of the pandemic." Dr. Valeria Herdea.
"We all want to resume our lives, to have healthy children, to have the elderly healthy and protected.
In Romania: 1/4 hypertensive, 1/4 dyslipidemic, 1/4 chronic peripheral venous insufficiency and 1/4 with uncontrolled severe obesity.
All these diseases are chronic and can be controlled. If such a patient becomes ill, the severity of the disease can be extremely severe, the patient enters intensive care and we lose lives.
The degrees of severity in children are variable. We already have kids in intensive care, kids with multisystem inflammatory syndrome, and kids we've lost.''
