A new delivery of 17,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against Covid-19 has arrived in Bulgaria. Another 260,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine are expected this month, said Bogdan Kirilov, chairman of the Bulgarian Medicines Agency. 

The AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved by the European Medicines Agency, we are waiting for the product information about it and the brief description, which will be sent to the specialists. Regarding the Russian vaccine, Kirilov commented that the scientific consultations held in the EU continue.

Delivery of the Moderna vaccines is expected to be delayed. Instead of 8,000 doses, only 6,000 doses will arrive in early February. The delay will be compensated by the end of the month, BTA reported.
