Romania hasn't received vaccines from the one million dose batch from which two people in Austria had been immunised and had adverse reactions, Health Ministry's Secretary of State Andrei Baciu pointed out for AGERPRES.
He said that the European Medicines Agency issued a statement on Thursday according to which "immunisation with vaccines produced by AstraZeneca is still recommended."
"Based on the preliminary data and analysis, there is no causal relation between the administration of the AstraZeneca vaccine and the side effects that have occurred, but the investigation will continue. It is further recommended that the vaccine produced by AstraZeneca be administered. About 5 million doses have been administered in the EU and in Romania we are talking about 208,000 doses administered until yesterday. We are analysing and monitoring everything that is happening and we are still waiting for updates from the European Medicines Agency," the Secretary of State added.
