According to Professor Baltov, restaurants should be closed until the end of February. “I don’t know of any restaurant that meets the measures, “Professor Baltov said.
There is no gap in the vaccine supply, because literally this month we will be inundated with literally 100,000 “Modern” and “Rfizer / Bayontech” vaccines, next month – another 100,000, said Prof. Asen Baltov.
“This means that we will be able to really implement both the second phase, which has already started in some areas, in Sofia from Monday, the third phase will literally start no later than 15 days after the second phase, because we see that the hesitant still do not they are small, “Prof. Baltov noted.

The period for “Pfizer” is 21 days and for “Modern” – 28 days.
“Israel is something completely different, because they have an agreement with Bayontech / Pfizer that it will be almost like their clinical trial of massive vaccination. The first data has already come out, which is very good. Of 135,000 vaccinated with two doses, only in 31 cases there was a disease with mild symptoms from home treatment, everyone else had good immunity, ”explained Prof. Baltov.
The director of “Pirogov” said that there will be no problem with vaccination in GPs, 10-15 people can be vaccinated in a day in two hours.
If all seven manufacturers are approved, 18 million vaccines will arrive by the end of the year.
