\nrollout continues at a pace of roughly 100 thousand people vaccinated a day,
\nbeing stepped up of late by novel vaccination methods. Authorities have
\nscrapped the planned lists on the national vaccination platform allowing the
\nRomanians to get the jab only by producing an ID. Drive throughs and the
\nso-called vaccination marathons have largely contributed to the successful
\nvaccine rollout. Mobile units have been dispatched to remote areas and
\nvaccination points have been opened on the premises of major enterprises around
