The Romanian government has decided to donate a new batch of vaccines against Covid-19 to Moldova. The donation of 100,620 Pfizer-BioNTech comes as a result of the discussions President Maia Sandu had with the Romanian Prime Minister, Florin Cîțu.

“We received very good news from Bucharest: following the discussions we had, a few weeks ago, with Prime Minister Florin Cîțu, the Romanian Government decided to donate another batch of the vaccine against Covid to Moldova. The donation announced today is 100,620 Pfizer-BioNTech doses. Thus, the total amount of vaccines that Romania has offered to our country in recent months, exceeds 500,000 doses. Thanks to the generous support of Romania, on March 2 we managed to start the vaccination campaign, saving lives in an extremely difficult period,” wrote President Sandu on Facebook.

In this context, the head of state thanked the authorities in Bucharest for their receptivity and support to the Moldovan citizens.

On June 11, a batch of 100,800 doses of vaccine against COVID-19 arrived in Moldova as humanitarian aid from Romania.

On May 7, Moldova received another batch of 100,800 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from Romania.

The vaccination campaign against COVID-19 in Moldova started on March 2, after February 27, in Chișinău over 21,000 doses arrived, donated by Romania through the Civil Protection Mechanism to the European Union.
