The government intends to start the second stage of anti-COVID-19 vaccination as of the middle of next week, Prime Minister Florin Citu told an online video conference with prefects on Tuesday, according to AGERPRES.
In this context, he spoke of the need to prepare the more than 900 vaccination centers in the country.
"We intend to move to the second stage of vaccination in the middle of next week, and that means we need to have those centers outside the hospitals. There are 932 centers and here we need your support. (... ) We have to have these centers operational as soon as possible," Citu said.
He referred to the vaccination situation so far, saying that "the pace is the right one."
"We have a challenge to run this vaccination program as well as possible. It started at a slower pace, but we saw that yesterday we already had 230 centers operating and I think the pace is good. We are in the first phase, in which only the medical staff gets vaccinated and I believe the pace has stared to pick up, we are getting to 20,000 vaccinations a day. It is a very good pace during this period, but we have to accelerate this rate," the prime minister showed.
