Good organization of mass immunization against Covid-19 allows for more liberal measures. This is what Dr. Stoycho Katsarov, Chairman of the Center for Protection of Rights in Healthcare, has told BNR.

According to him, the vaccination plan should have included rapid immunization of people over 60 years of age first. In Bulgaria they are over 2 million and mortality rate among them is the highest.

According to him, distrust of vaccines was related to distrust of the government.
