Claims that Bulgaria relies on the vaccines of a specific company are pure speculations, Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov said. Prime Minister Boyko Borissov also rejected claims that Bulgaria had deliberately ordered larger quantities of a particular vaccine on the market.

Chief State Health Inspector Angel Kunchev reaffirmed that Bulgarians would have equal access to the three types of vaccines delivered to Bulgaria.
