The pace of vaccination has slowed in Romania

The pace of vaccination has slowed in Romania in the last two days. Only about 7,400 people were immunized, the lowest level in 10 days, although by the end of the weekend the number of people wanted had increased. Romania currently has a quarter of the population vaccinated against COVID-19 with at least one dose, most of which have a complete schedule. Specialists point out that all available sera provide a significant degree of protection against the Delta variant of coronavirus, which is more easily transmitted and has already led to an increase in the number of cases in several countries. In addition, they explain, high vaccine coverage limits the conditions for the virus to develop new strains. (RADIO ROMANIA NEWS)
