Romania accelerated its COVID-19 vaccination campaign in February and reached almost 1 million vaccinated people at the end of the month. The Romanian authorities also started using the Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines, in addition to the one supplied by Pfizer/BionTech. The new Johnson vaccine should also become available in April. Starting March 15, anyone who wants to get vaccinated in Romania will be able to reserve a spot as the vaccination campaign moves to phase three.
