The next installment of vaccines for Romania could be delayed. The manufacturer may not ship the shipment that will arrive tomorrow at the originally scheduled time.
In fact, authorities said in the morning that only tonight would they receive confirmation that the second transport, of 150,000 doses, would leave on time.
According to the carrier, the vaccine will not arrive tomorrow in Romania, because the vaccine boxes have not yet been loaded. The problem lies with Pfizer-BioNTech, the manufacturer of the vaccine, which has also taken on the task of transporting the anti-COVID serum under special conditions to Romania.
The coordinator of the national vaccination campaign, Valeriu Gheorghiță, told Digi24 that he does not have an official confirmation at this time from Pfizer.
Vaccination against COVID-19 started in Romania this morning. The first to be immunized are front-line doctors and nurses, and a 26-year-old nurse from the Matei Balş Institute, who cared for the first patient infected with SARS COV2, was also the first Romanian to be vaccinated. The authorities intend to complete, at the beginning of February, the first stage, that is, to vaccinate more than half a million medical personnel. And in half a year the goal is to reach an immunization level of more than 60 percent of the population.
