Instead of the initially promised 35,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines, 18,720 will arrive in Bulgaria, Bogdan Kirilov, executive director of the Medicines Agency, told BNT. He added that at the end of February the originally planned amount will be restored and even an increase is expected. 

According to Bogdan Kirilov, the smaller number of doses will create difficulties, as the people who need to be vaccinated are predetermined. The important thing, however, is that the second dose will be given to those who have already been immunized in time. 

"We decided to keep half of the quantities we receive, precisely because of such situations," he commented.
