The first 10,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have entered today in Romania, at Customs in Nădlac. They are taken there by the head of DSU, Raed Arafat and by the head of the vaccination campaign, Valeriu Gheorghiță, who left for Arad last night. The vaccines will be stored immediately at the Cantacuzino Medical-Military Institute, from where they will be distributed to the 10 front-line hospitals in the fight against the pandemic. The vaccine doses will be transported on carbonic ice to keep them at a temperature of -70 degrees Celsius.
Doctors and nurses will receive the injection from Sunday, December 27, when the vaccination campaign officially begins throughout the European Union. We remind you that in a first stage, medical personnel and personnel from centers for the elderly and children will be vaccinated.
In the second stage, the population of risk groups, the elderly and chronically ill, as well as workers in key areas, can receive the vaccine. Then the vaccination of the general population will begin.
Another batch of 600,000 doses of vaccine will arrive in the country in January, enough to immunize 300,000 Romanians.
In Romania, in addition to the main vaccine storage center of the Cantacuzino Institute, there are six other regional centers. The authorities have decided to establish 900 fixed and mobile vaccination centers and aim to immunize up to 70 percent of the population over the next year.
