This was assured by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
“Any Bulgarian citizen who wishes will have the opportunity to be immunized against the coronavirus as soon as possible, as soon as the European Medicines Agency approves and registers effective, reliable and safe vaccines against COVID-19.” This was stated by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov during the regular government meeting, which was held via video conference, the government press service said.

To guarantee Bulgarians access to approved vaccines, as well as to the quantities our country needs, the government today allocated BGN 6,374,930 as additional funding to supplement the budget of the EU Emergency Assistance Instrument. It is through this mechanism that Bulgaria will have the necessary number of immunizations in the conditions of a pandemic.
“Vaccination will be carried out completely free of charge and voluntary, and there is already a provision for its placement,” stressed Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.

He emphasized that in combination with other medications, remdesivir saves the lives of seriously ill people with COVID-19.
During the Council of Ministers meeting, Prime Minister Borissov added that the government takes measures every day to ensure that Bulgarian doctors have all the necessary medicines, for which world experience shows that they help patients with the severe new virus. .
