Health Minister Sorina Pintea stated on Tuesday in an interview for Libertatea live, that she will militate for parents to be compelled by law to seek out information about their children's vaccination, and should they refuse to do so, they pay a fine that will finance the healthcare system.
According to her, if there is an epidemic, an unvaccinated child will definitely not be received in the school, not to discriminate the child but to prevent them from getting ill.
Sorina Pintea affirmed that she expressed in favour of vaccination and was offended on social networks for this.
She denied some rumours according to which Romania has allegedly acquired vaccines from Kazakhstan.
"I have heard a very strange story that vaccines were acquired from Kazakhstan...No such thing, believe me, people are responsible. We are talking about our children, in the end, most of us are parents," Pintea further said.
She further stated that one of her mandate's objective is to draw up a code of laws regarding health.
