There is no increase in the number of side effects, as well as deaths after vaccination against coronavirus, Prof. Ilko Getov, Bulgaria's representative at the European Medicines Agency, told BNR.

"One of the great advantages of vaccines is that even if you become infected again, which is not impossible, the likelihood of severe complications is zero," he explained.

It is assumed that the vaccines will create at least two years of immunity, while the acquired immunity after being sick is up to six months, said Prof. Ilko Getov.

He added that by the end of March, the AstraZeneca vaccine would be available also for older patients. According to Prof. Ilko Getov, it is a matter of responsibility not to rush to loosen the measures, as we will soon reach the threshold of 1,500 new infections per day.
