Vaccination should not stop because of a single case of adverse reaction

If we continue like this and use every single case as a reason to stop vaccination, we would need 10 years to get vaccinated. This was what Dr. Ivan Madzharov, head of the Bulgarian Medical Association has told BNT.

He pointed out that suspension of planned operations did not have the purpose of an anti-epidemic measure but was used more as a way to provide enough medical staff, "especially resuscitators needed in order to provide necessary care to COVID-19 patients." There is no shortage of hospital beds in the country. There are difficulties in some places, but we do not see fear and confusion among our colleagues, as it was in the autumn. One third of the population lives in Sofia and it is clear that the biggest workload will be in the capital city, Dr. Madzharov added.
