Romanian medical official urges national security council intervention over falling childhood vaccination rates

Childhood vaccination rates in Romania have fallen significantly below critical safety thresholds, prompting calls for top-level state intervention. Dr. Gindrovel Dumitra, vaccinology coordinator for the National Society of Family Medicine, stated that public misconceptions surrounding vaccine safety are directly leading to preventable deaths.

Speaking to G4Media, Dumitra warned that the country has long crossed the critical limit needed for herd immunity. He recommended that Romania's Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) take formal responsibility for coordinating public health interventions, arguing that population health is inextricably linked to national defense. Medical professionals emphasize that urgent state action is required to rebuild public trust and restore immunization coverage across the country.
