During the COVID-19 pandemic,Romania has supported Moldova on several occasions,supplying it with medical equipment and supplies,volunteer Romanian experts and doctors and even a series of COVID-19 vaccine units that arrived on 27 February 2021,which allowed Moldova to start its vaccination program.

During the COVID-19 pandemic,Moldova was very reliant on external help from other countries,having received donations of vaccines from Romania,the United Arab Emirates,Russia and China. In fact,Moldova's vaccination campaign started due to a donation from Romania on 27 February 2021 composed of 21,600 Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses,with the first vaccinated person in the country being Alexandru Botizatu. Romania had promised earlier,on 29 December 2020,that it would help Moldova with a collaboration project which would include 200,000 vaccine doses to help Moldova combat the pandemic,but also other matters of the country. Romania subsequently made more donations on 27 March 2021 with 50,400 vaccine units;on 17 April 2021 with 132,000 vaccine doses,fulfilling its promise to Moldova;and on 7 May 2021 with 100,800 vaccine units even though this surpassed the promised 200,000 vaccine doses.
