A year after the first case of Covid-19 was detected in China, Europe has started vaccination to end this devastating disease.
Without a doubt we are living a historic moment. Mihaela Anghel, a 26-year-old nurse from the “Matei Balş” Institute in Bucharest, is the first person to be vaccinated in Romania.
“I sincerely hope it is the beginning of the end of this pandemic,” said Mihaela, who was part of the team that treated the first Romanian to be diagnosed with coronavirus in February. Hundreds of doctors and nurses in eight counties received doses of the vaccine throughout the day.
For 15 minutes, Miahela was monitored for allergic reactions.
Reporter: “Did it hurt?”
Mihaela Anghel, the first person vaccinated in Romania: “It doesn’t hurt at all, it’s the most painless vaccine I’ve ever received.”
Reporter: “What do you send to Romanians who don’t want to get vaccinated?”
Mihaela Anghel: “I tell them to open their eyes and come to get vaccinated, to be able to get rid of that weight that pressures us all to stop waiting for them or their loved ones to get sick to realize that this disease exists.”
Reporter: “Have you been infected with Sars-Cov-2?”
Mihaela Anghel: “No, I never have been.”

Nurse Mihaela Anghel is the first person to be vaccinated in Romania. He is 26 years old and was part of the medical team that, on February 27, took care of the first patient infected with Sars-Cov-2 in Romania: a man from Gorj. Since then, he has remained at the forefront, treating hundreds of patients, many in critical condition.
Six minutes and ten seconds. That’s how long the vaccination operation lasted. The bottle is thawed first. Then the vaccine is diluted with sodium chloride. Each vial contains five doses of vaccine. The doctor draws 0.3 milliliters of the solution into the syringe and injects the patient into the forearm.
Mihaela Anghel: “I just thought that in a short time we will be able to get rid of this problem and that we will be happy again, because our happiness was destroyed a little with this pandemic.”
600 doses arrived at the Matei Balş Institute in the Capital. About 140 doctors and nurses were vaccinated on Sunday. Among them, a 68-year-old doctor, but also Dr. Adrian Strainu Cercel, former manager of the institute, currently a PSD senator. He was the first to appear for statements and presented to the press the certificate that all those who are vaccinated will receive.
Prof. Dr. Adrian Streinu Cercel: “The vaccine is extraordinary, it doesn’t hurt at all, not at all. The girls have a very light hand. The vaccine is excellent because of the way it was designed. Basically they are little piles of fat and inside this pile there is an RNA molecule that induces in our body the production of that molecule peak, peak. And then the other cells come and do the work and make the necessary antibody, so that when the virus arrives, it is inactivated at the entrance. “
Reporter: “Are there any contraindications for those who get vaccinated against the flu, not being vaccinated at the same time and anti-Covid?”
Colonel Dr. Valeriu Gheorghiţă, coordinator of the vaccination strategy: “At the moment, the data suggest that these types of vaccines should be administered at a distance of 28 days. The medical recommendation is that if we are vaccinated against influenza viruses, vaccinate every 28 days against Covid and vice versa ”.
Globally, millions of people have already been vaccinated and only six serious side effects have been reported.
In our country, according to the authorities, none of the people vaccinated today had allergic reactions. Every vaccination center in Romania will be equipped with allergy treatments, in order to intervene in case of such reactions.
