Half of Bulgarians will be inoculated against Covid-19 by the end of June and more than 70% of the population will receive Covid-19 vaccines by the end of the summer, said for Nova TV Professor Asen Baltov, Director of Pirogov Emergency Hospital. 

In April, the number of RNA vaccines delivered to Bulgaria will increase threefold. Meanwhile, a second vector Covid-19 vaccine will be available and people will be able to choose their vaccine. The British coronavirus variant is extremely fast spreading and people who already had Covid-19 can be re-infected. In his view, the coronavirus infection has become a catalyst for the chronic diseases. “Our nation had very serious health problems before the Covid-19 crisis”, added Professor Baltov.
