Minister Alexandru Rogobete emphasizes the alarming increase in measles cases in Romania and the necessity of an information campaign for vaccination.

Alexandru Rogobete, the Minister of Health, expressed concern about the increased number of measles cases in Romania, considering the alarming figures. He mentioned that he has observed a declining trend in vaccination and has initiated an information campaign to promote prevention, including vaccination. Rogobete emphasized the link between the decrease in vaccination and misinformation in the public space, recalling last year's pseudo-conferences that promoted false ideas about alternative medicine.

The minister raised the issue of public responsibility in cases of misinformation, questioning who is responsible for the children who died from measles due to lack of vaccination. He also criticized individuals who express unfounded opinions about vaccination on social media. Rogobete stated that, although he supports people's right to choose whether to vaccinate or not, it is essential for them to receive accurate and complete information.
