Andrei Baciu speaks to Romanians from all over the country about the extremely important decisions that will have an effect on millions of us in the coming months, everything having to do with the closing of the CNCAV and the reduction of the intensity of the vaccination campaign, which was not a total failure.
Andrei Baciu also talks about the ROVACCINARE platform, which had over 79 million hits, a huge number for a platform offered for only 1 and a half years, but despite its existence, the vaccination rate in Romania was lower than in other European countries.
"Everything that didn't work was evident almost instantly, the world was keeping an eye on this process, on this activity, and you could see when things didn't work. There were many moments when things could have worked better, not that they failed completely, but they could have worked better.
If we are referring to an objective, then, generalist, which does not allow you to learn a lot, to extract concrete things from this matter. As for the objective, or the vaccination rate, here we can certainly compare ourselves with other European countries, or not. It is equally important to take into account the context.
Romania continues to have difficulties in promoting other types of vaccination, not only the vaccination against COVID-19, even more so in certain regions of Romania, where it is a difficult situation. There are so-called pre-existing things that are significant, they are structural, and they relate to many other non-medical aspects.
These things could not be fixed overnight with the start of the vaccination campaign, but at the same time we must also look at what worked beyond expectations. Let's look at our user friendly experience, there are many states that did not have the scheduling platform, you had to call a doctor to find out if you can schedule or not.
We had a functioning platform that had 79 million hits by Romanians. The platform was made in a very short time, it was modified "on the fly", without being stopped, there were 10 moments of unavailability in 15 months, of short duration, but otherwise it is still a platform that had no platforms like this."
