Gheorghita: Appointments for stage 3 vaccination to be available after March 15; vaccination - probably in April

People in the third stage of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign (general population) can make appointments on the online platform dedicated to this process after March 15, and the inoculation of the vaccine for them will most likely take place in April, Valeriu Gheorghita, the coordinator of the national immunization campaign against the novel coronavirus, said on Sunday. "Regarding the third stage, making appointments for general population will be possible right after March 15, and this is important, the moment when the waiting list is available, and the respective vaccination will probably start in April," Gheorghita told Digi 24 private television broadcaster. Gheorghita also mentioned, in his intervention, that from March 15, waiting lists for anti-COVID-19 vaccination will be active on the online registration platform. Each person registered on the list of a vaccination centre will be able to see how many people are before him or her and can estimate the date on which he or she would be scheduled for vaccination. He also said that the activation of this waiting list on the online platform depended on the 750 centres nationwide provided in the vaccination campaign being made operational. In the context of Romania receiving new vaccine doses, the coordinator added that "as of tomorrow (Monday - ed.n.) there will be at least 30,000 people vaccinated every day." "We will have days when we exceed 40,000 vaccinated people," Gheorghita added. AGERPRES (RO - author: Oana Ghita, editor: Irina Poenaru; EN - editor: Adina Panaitescu)
