There is no problem for children without any specific diseases to be immunized at their GP or in the vaccination centres, said the state health inspector Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angel Kunchev. 

As of June 3, Pfizer /BioNTech is now allowed to be used in children over 12 years of age in Bulgaria, Kunchev added, emphasizing that in the country the period of vaccination in children is still too short to make summaries, but data from other countries show that there is no significant difference in side effects in children and adults
Already 89 Bulgarian children between the ages of 12 and 15 have been vaccinated against the coronavirus, Nova TV reported.
