Romanian medical experts urge defence council intervention over falling childhood vaccination rates

Romanian medical experts have called on the Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) to intervene as childhood immunisation rates drop significantly past safe levels.

Dr Gindrovel Dumitra, coordinator of the vaccinology group at the National Society of Family Medicine, warned that public perceptions of vaccine safety have become dangerously distorted, directly resulting in preventable loss of life. Dumitra urged high-level state intervention, emphasizing that public health constitutes a fundamental component of national defence and population protection.

Healthcare professionals are advocating for a unified state strategy to counter growing anti-vaccine disinformation, rebuild public trust in medical infrastructure, and restore pediatric vaccination coverage to safe levels nationwide.
