Romanian medical expert urges defense council action over falling child vaccination rates

Romania's childhood vaccination rates have fallen past critical thresholds, leading experts to urge intervention by the Supreme Council for National Defence.
Romania's childhood vaccination rates have fallen past critical safety thresholds, according to Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra, coordinator of the vaccinology group at the National Society of Family Medicine. Speaking to G4Media, Dumitra stated that public misperceptions surrounding vaccine safety are directly contributing to preventable deaths among children across the country.
To address the growing public health crisis, Dumitra called on Romania's Supreme Council for National Defence to intervene, arguing that public health is fundamentally a matter of national defense. Medical professionals emphasize that top-level state intervention is required to restore public trust in routine pediatric immunization programs and combat misinformation.
