All delivered quantities of the AstraZeneca vaccine should be used for administering the first dose of the vaccination, Bulgaria's National Vaccine Task Force decided. This will cover larger groups of the population and will speed up immunization. The vaccine body will recommend that medical professionals administer the second dose of the vaccine 10 weeks after the first. 

The members of the vaccination authorities expressed the opinion that the Oxford vaccine can be used for vaccination of all Bulgarian citizens over 18 years of age, the Bulgarian Ministry of Health announced.

The new shipment of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, whose delivery was postponed due to bad weather conditions today, is expected to arrive in Bulgaria in the middle of the week, BTA reported.
