Tests for antibodies have dealt a big blow to the vaccination process in Bulgaria, said on bTV Dr. Vasil Mihailov from Sofia-based Alexandrovska Hospital on the occasion of the first year of immunization against coronavirus. 

In Bulgaria, one can get a three-month green certificate after a laboratory test for the presence of antibodies. However, the doctor believes that the interpretation of these results does not give a reliable answer as to whether we should be vaccinated. 
According to epidemiologist Hristiana Batselova, another wave of Covid-19 awaits us in February, so it is important to get vaccinated. She explained that revaccination is a normal process to be required and that this is not something new in the world of immunology.
