According to the World Health Organization, this country currently ranks seventh when it comes to Covid-19 mortality. Just over 18% of Bulgarians have been immunized with the first dose of the vaccine and a bit over 16 percent have completed the course of vaccination. This places Bulgaria last in terms of the number of vaccinated among the EU countries.
