Due to the low vaccination rate Bulgaria could become the source of a new variant of Covid-19, European Commissioner for the Internal market Thierry Breton warned. He pointed out that only 26% of Bulgaria’s adult population is fully vaccinated, whereas in Europe this percentage has reached 76%, and added that the cases of severe Covid are precisely among the unvaccinated. Immunization is a measure that works in checking the spread of the pandemic, said Thierry Breton who is paying a visit to Sofia, and warned that a new wave is on its way.
Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov has ordered that no informed consent declaration before vaccination against Covid-19 be required, after holding a telephone conversation with Andrea Ammon, Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
The Bulgarian Ministry of Health is to set up a hotline to answer all questions connected with the vaccines, Minister Katsarov announced.
