Chairman of the National COVID-19 Vaccination Coordination Committee (CNCAV) Valeriu Gheorghita said on Tuesday that COVID-19 vaccination in 95% of Romania's small towns has started under a project called "The town vaccinates the village."
He said 3,114 family physicians had signed contracts for vaccination against COVID-19, making up 32.5 percent of the total number of family physicians.
Gheorghita said that as of August 9, more than 308,000 people had been vaccinated in family medicine offices.
He also said that 148 hospitals have vaccinations for hospitalised chronic patients.
He said that Bucharest City has the highest vaccination coverage rate, at 48%.
"There are currently 11 counties that are above the national average vaccine coverage; there are 27 counties that have vaccine coverage between 20 and 29.9% and also there are only four counties that have a vaccine coverage of less than 20%," Gheorghita said.
