“The vaccination campaign in the country is slowing down,” Bogdan Kirilov, Executive Director of the Bulgarian Drug Agency warned in an interview for bTV. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is the most preferred vaccine.
It will not come to discarding vaccines against Covid-19 because of expiry, because the European Commission mechanisms allow for the donation and resale of the vaccines. “There are no vaccine batches nearing expiry. In July there are around 50,000 doses of AstraZeneva coming, but there are also some 80,000 people waiting for a second dose of the vaccine, so these doses will be given priority,” Bogdan Kirilov said.
Bulgaria is expecting the delivery of a total of 13 million vaccines. There are some 3.8 million doses in stock, 1.5 million doses have been administered.
