Romania's Ministry of Health has recently signed an order for an additional 9 million COVID-19 vaccine doses with the German company CureVac, Health Minister Vlad Voiculescu announced on Wednesday.
According to him, currently in Romania there are more closed-end vaccination centres than open-end centres.
"As many as 30% of vaccinations are outside the vaccination platform. There is an appointment scheduling platform and then there is the National Vaccination Register. These two must be put together. (...) We currently have more closed-end centres than open-end centres. Open-end centres means centres where everyone can schedule an appointment. Closed-end ones means that only a part of the Romanian population can schedule an appointment. That worries us," said Voiculescu.
