33% of medical specialists in this country or a total of 37,000 doctors, nurses, pharmacists and dentists, have expressed willingness to be vaccinated against Covid-19, head of the health inspectorate in Burgas Georgi Pazderov said. The statement came after a national meeting with the Minister of Health on the upcoming vaccination.

47 mobile teams in Bulgaria will carry out the vaccination in the country divided into 6 regions with bases in Veliko Tarnovo, Varna, Burgas, Plovdiv, Vratsa and Sofia. Another 40 mobile teams will be provided, Pazderov said and added manipulations would take place in healthcare facilities. Once vaccine data came out, the percentage of people willing to get it would rise, health authorities say.
