In Bulgaria, citizens over the age of 80 do not have priority for vaccination. Just 5.1% of the Bulgarian population over the age of 80 have received a first dose of vaccine and only 0.7% of Bulgarians in this age group are fully immunized. This is shown by data published by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

In the EU, Malta is on the other side of the chart with 95.3% of citizens over the age of 80 who have already received their first vaccine.
