Romania is struggling to find storage for millions of Covid vaccine doses it hasn’t used, even as more are slated to arrive this year.

More than two years into the pandemic, the country remains one of the European Union’s least vaccinated. Now the government is asking the EU for help and trying to sell or donate doses from Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc. to resolve a storage headache that’s set to worsen while avoiding wasting the shots.
