Romanian health expert warns of critical drop in childhood vaccination rates

A Romanian medical expert warned that childhood vaccination rates have dropped past critical levels, calling for the national defence council to intervene as public health deteriorates.
Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra, coordinator of the vaccinology group at Romania's National Society of Family Medicine, warned that childhood vaccination rates in the country have long passed a critical threshold. Speaking in an interview with G4Media, Dumitra stated that distorted perceptions of health realities are directly causing a preventable loss of human lives.
To address the declining immunization coverage, Dumitra urged Romania's Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) to intervene. He argued that public health directly concerns population defense and national security, asserting that high-level state involvement is required to counter the ongoing crisis and protect public safety.
