Between 30% and 40% of Bulgarians have not yet decided whether to get Covid-19 vaccines, this country’s Chief State Health Inspector Associate Professor Angel Kunchev said for the BNR’s podcast “The Covid-19 vaccines”. Inoculation against Covid-19 in this country has not been running smoothly due to the general mistrust towards the state and the institutions, contends Angel Kunchev. 

We are still in the beginning of the fourth Covid-19 wave with 40 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 people, while in neighboring countries such as Greece and Cyprus the incidence rate is much higher. Less than 40% of the people in Bulgaria have had Covid-19 or received one or two doses of Covid-19 vaccine. Between 1% and 2% of the hospitalized patients have received one dose of Covid-19 vaccine and 98% of the patients have not been inoculated against Covid-19, added Associate Professor Angel Kunchev.
