Prime Minister Florin Citu said on Monday that the vaccination against the novel coronavirus will not be mandatory, according to AGERPRES.
"This is a law that has been with Parliament for three years; it has nothing to do with the ongoing vaccination campaign. It is a bill in the Romanian Parliament. That document is a copy and paste of the policies of the last three years, so it has nothing to do with what is happening. (...) There were no such talks. I have seen senior official Raed Araft saying clearly what I am saying now: the COVID-19 vaccination campaign will not be mandatory; that is out of question," Citu said at the Parliament House before a meeting of the National Liberal Party (PNL) Executive Bureau.
The prime minister was asked about the possibility of the population being mandated to get vaccinated.
