The coordinator of the vaccination campaign, Dr. Valeriu Gheroghiță, declared on Tuesday that Romania currently has a deficit of 117,000 doses of Covid vaccine, so that, as of January 28, all people scheduled for the first dose are delayed ten days, which are essential. activities.
“We have one dose deficit of 117,000 generated in large part because in the week of January 18 to 24 we received 51.3% fewer doses than should be assigned.
As such, Our solution to continue the vaccination campaign, without affecting the booster dose or vaccinating people with chronic diseases, those over 65 years of age or in medical and social centers, dialysis centers or those who cannot travel, is that from the 28th of January is rescheduled for ten days all the people who perform essential activities for the first dose, that is, 35,000 people scheduled for the first dose. Therefore, the schedule date of January 28 translates to 10 days and becomes February 8. The same vaccination dose is maintained with dose 1 for the rest of the scheduled people. A booster dose is provided for people who have been vaccinated so far.“said Valeriu Gheorghiţă.
Thus, the appointment period from January 28 to February 15 is delayed ten days for the 35,000 people who would have been vaccinated with the first dose.
“The difficult period for us is until February 15. We need solidarity and we must have patience,” Gheorghiţă added.
The rescheduling is done automatically on the vaccination scheduling platform, and the scheduled people will be informed by SMS or email.
“Rescheduling is done automatically for those in the key areas that will be delayed. It is about 35,000 people of the 71,000 programmed by employers. We extracted those people who are not older than 65 years and who do not suffer from chronic diseases. It is a period of 10-14 days.”, Explained the coordinator of the vaccination campaign.
Valeriu Gheorghiță added that these types of problems have also been registered in many European countries, which have decided to postpone vaccinations, reduce the number of people scheduled or reduce the doses administered daily.
He added that Romania is maintaining its goal of having 1.2 million people vaccinated by the end of March.
