The Ministry of Health has published a list of the expected shipments of Covid-19 vaccines by the two companies whose products have been approved for use in the EU - Pfizer/BioNTech’s Comirnaty and the Moderna vaccine.

1.5 million doses of the two vaccines are expected to be delivered in Bulgaria by August, the sum total of all expected shipments  shows. They should suffice for the inoculation of 750,000 Bulgarian citizens, as each vaccine requires two doses administered within an interval of no less than 21 days, Dnevnik reports.
