Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra has urged Romania's Supreme Council for National Defence to intervene as childhood vaccination rates fall below critical thresholds.

Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra, coordinator of the vaccinology group at the National Society of Family Medicine, has warned that childhood vaccination coverage in Romania has fallen far below safe thresholds. In an interview with G4Media, Dumitra asserted that misperceptions regarding health realities are directly leading to preventable deaths among children.

To reverse the downward trend in immunization rates, Dumitra called on the Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) to step in. He argued that public health issues of this magnitude directly impact population security and national defense, necessitating coordinated high-level state action to restore public trust and protect children across the country.
