At the same time, once the conditions for vaccination for both the second and third phases have been created, it should be possible for all other people waiting to be vaccinated.
How will the vaccination plan continue in our country?
“You go to the regions of the country to observe the process in person and open green corridors for those who want to get vaccinated. Thus, the percentage of vaccinated will increase a lot, we will have an even greater shield against the pandemic and there will be no need for additional closures or restrictions, as there are in other countries ”, said the Prime Minister.

“Next week we expect another 180,000 doses of the three vaccines approved for use. The information we have for the month of March from the manufacturers and the European Commission is at least 500,000 doses, which allows us to launch the fourth phase of the National Vaccination Plan, ”Kirilov reported.

He added that the European Medicines Agency has started the final stage of evaluating the documentation of the expected fourth vaccine, the Johnson and Johnson company. “Additional information was provided to medical specialists, as well as expert opinions in all specialties, so that all medical specialists who administer vaccines can be assured of official information related to the three vaccines,” added Bogdan Kirilov.
During the working meeting, the Chief State Health Inspector and member of NOCHE, Associate Prof. Angel Kunchev, reported on a decrease in mortality in the country.
“This shows that fears that the British version of the virus is more serious are not yet justified,” Kunchev said, adding: “We can expect the circulation of this new version to continue with a slight increase in morbidity, but it is at this rate it does not represent a threat to the health system. “
NOC President Ventsislav Mutafchiiski also noted the decline in the country’s death rate. According to him, this is the result of both the accumulated experience of medical teams in the treatment of COVID-19 and the reduction of pressure on health facilities. “It is possible that all patients admitted, even in serious condition, receive adequate care. This is the important thing,” was categorical Mutafchiiski.
