Bulgaria may buy any Covid-19 vaccine, regardless of its country of origin, if such a vaccine is approved by the European Union, this country’s Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov said. Bulgaria will receive 13 million vaccines, which are enough for the entire population, Minister Angelov told the Bulgarian MPs.

 Equal quantities of each Covid-19 vaccine have been provided. The quantities under different quotas can be re-negotiated between the member states, BTA reported. Due to the uneven supply, no deadlines have been set in the national vaccination plan. Soon we will provide detailed information on where inoculation will take place. 2 million Bulgarians will be inoculated against Covid-19 until the end of 2021, Minister Angelov went on to say.
