Dr. Alexander Simidchiev, deputy chair of the parliamentary healthcare committee has proposed, to the MPs, the allocation of funding for a vaccination awareness campaign to deliver “powerful messages”. Bulgaria continues to be last, among the EU countries, with a mere 15% of vaccination coverage.
“We are not talking theory, we are talking about very real data – two of the regions of the country are now in the red zone, another two are on the verge of the red zone,” Alexander Simidchiev said in an interview for Nova TV, and added that the new wave of Covid-19 is going to come right before the start of the school year.
“We are going to repeat something we are familiar with, because we keep doing the same thing over and over again. The measures are just on paper, they are not being implemented in practice,” Dr. Simidchiev said. He stated that the infection levels will peak if the level of collective immunity remains low.
