In a post on Facebook, Raluca Turcan explained why the authorities decided that doctors and health professionals involved in the fight against the new coronavirus should be immunized in the first stage.
“The first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was administered today to nurse Mihaela Anghel who, 10 months ago, took care of the first confirmed patient in Romania. The vaccination campaign begins, naturally, with people without whom our health would not be safe. Also in the first stage, the employees of the social centers will be vaccinated, and the administrators of these centers will schedule the residents of the centers for the second stage. In the case of the beneficiaries, mobile vaccination teams will be organized to travel to administer the vaccine in the respective places, ”said Raluca Turcan.
In the message posted on Facebook, the Cîțu cabinet minister showed that Romania will receive around 10 million doses of vaccine, enough to immunize those who opt for it. He noted that 60-70% of the population needs to be vaccinated to reduce the risk of recovery and return to normal life.
“Yesterday the first 10,000 doses of vaccine arrived in the country and, weekly, around 140,000 doses will arrive. Romania will benefit from approximately 10 million doses of vaccine, and the number of vaccines is sufficient for all those who opt for immunization. I’d like to ask you to think about the next topic, in addition to this organizational information. Vaccination, along with compliance with sanitary measures, is the sure way to get our life back to normal. But we must be aware of one thing: if 60-70 percent of the population is not immunized, we cannot say that the risk has passed and that the restrictions will be lifted, ”Raluca Turcan also wrote in the Facebook post.
Why the approval procedures were sped up
In this context, Raluca Turcan sought to clear up doubts about the efficacy and safety of the new vaccine, showing that it was authorized by the European Medicines Agency and the National Medicines Agency after all clinical trials demonstrated that it is a safe product.
“The vaccine went through all the necessary testing phases and was approved so quickly because the bureaucratic stages were urgent, not the medical ones. This vaccine prevents disease, prevents SARS VOC 2 infection, or limits a severe form of the disease. This unfortunate coronavirus is so unpredictable and evolves so differently from person to person, and now it can be prevented. I ask those who still have doubts: why not use this tool, which is the vaccine? If all the clinical tests were done, if specialists, epidemiologists and others do it, why wouldn’t the rest of us do it? We finally have a solution to take back our lives as we knew them, ”the Minister of Labor also wrote.
