Romanian medical expert urges national defence council to tackle falling child vaccination rates

Romanian healthcare leaders are calling on the country's national defence council to address declining pediatric immunisation rates.
Romanian medical professionals are urging the Supreme Council for National Defence to intervene as childhood immunisation rates fall well below critical safety thresholds. Dr Gindrovel Dumitra, coordinator of the vaccinology group at the National Society of Family Medicine, stated that public misperceptions regarding vaccine safety are directly contributing to preventable fatalities.
Speaking to G4Media, Dumitra emphasized that safeguarding public health forms a core pillar of national defence and population protection. Healthcare leaders are advocating for high-level state intervention and a coordinated national response to rebuild trust in pediatric immunisation programs and counter medical misinformation.
