And because the law on vaccination has remained in the drawers of deputies of the Chamber of Deputies, the Ministry of Health has started to vaccinate children from Roma communities where the vaccination rate does not exceed 4%. Armed with syringes, doctors, many of whom are volunteers, emerge in isolated communities with the support of local transport authorities. The first place to be vaccinated, Coţofăneni, in Bacău county, can be given as a positive example: nearly 200 children were vaccinated with 220 doses of vaccine, of which 176 MMR (measles-rubella-mumps) 28 hexavalent vaccines, 6 vaccines pneumococcal and 10 tetravalent vaccines.
"It's an extraordinary thing and the initiative is interesting.This one-time vaccination campaign, on problem areas should have been long," said Vasile Barbu, president of the 39, National Association for the Protection of Patients (ANPP).
The patient's representative says that a map should be established with risk areas where the vaccination rate is very low and where it should be done with mass vaccination campaigns.
"When you start this program, it should not be used on a discretionary basis, only for Roma communities, but should be pursued in other isolated communities where access to information In the end, convincing by informing, without restraint and without resorting to means contrary to ethics, is the best solution, "says Barbu.
Vaccination Centers Temporary
Mass vaccination of Coţofăneşti was only the first step of the campaign, explained the Minister of Health, Sorina Pintea, adding that the bases of the temporary vaccination centers to facilitate the 39, Access to Immunization
"Three teams of doctors and nurses consulted the children brought by their parents to the medical office and vaccinated those without contraindications. We choose places where the degree of vaccination is very low and where recovery is difficult to achieve. We intervene by conducting information campaigns with the population and by supplementing the family doctors and nurses of the region. If necessary, we will temporarily set up vaccination centers to facilitate access to vaccination, "said the Minister of Health.
The parents received answers to questions and those who wanted to immunize their children went to the medical office that had been working for three days in the cultural home. "Congratulations to the people involved!" The context is terrible: more than 14,701 cases of measles confirmed in Romania 59 dead children The law of vaccination is criminally blocked in parliament for more than a year even by colleagues of the Minister ", responded the former Minister of Health, Vlad Voiculescu.
Immunization coverage rate for national serum
In figures, vaccination has decreased steadily from year to year for all vaccines included in the National Immunization Program. The latest statistics provided by the Ministry of Health show that national vaccination coverage and vaccine types were 95.4% for BCG, 87.8% for HepB (hepatitis B), 68.1% for DTP (diftero-tetano-pertussis), HiB (against hepatitis B) and IPV, and 76.8% for MMR (rubella-measles-mumps)
"I read from all sorts of sources that serum is not good.There have also been delays in the supply of the vaccine to the public health departments.Usually, with the new law, we want to solve these problems but also find solutions for the continuous supply in vaccines, "explained Professor Alexandru Rafila, head of the Romanian Society of Microbiology.
