Bulgaria will scrap more than 2.1 million vaccine doses against Covid-19. Their value exceeds EUR 25 million, the Ministry of Health told the website Mediapool. Expired vaccines, broken vials, improperly stored vaccines and partially used multi-dose vials are subjected to disposal.

Caretaker Minister of Health Asen Medjidiev warned that if the European Comision's vaccine supply contract is not changed or terminated, the vaccines that will be delivered in the future will be subject to disposal as soon as they arrive in Bulgaria.
