“In the coming months there will be much larger quantities of vaccines so that people will certainly be able to make a choice,” Bogdan Kirilov, executive director of the Bulgarian Drug Agency said for BNT.

“Bulgaria’s decision regarding the different vaccines is for a balanced portfolio that includes all vaccines developed, so as to guarantee effectiveness,he added. “More than 240,000 doses are expected by the end of February, and over 500,000 in March. That is why we are going to see an accelerated rate of vaccination. The total amount of vaccines which Bulgaria is able to purchase under the EU agreements is over 18 million doses. That is so because one of the vaccines is expected to be administered in one dose. We shall have a sufficient amount of vaccines for over 10 million people,” Bogdan Kirilov said.
