There are queues of dozens of people wishing to get vaccinated in front of the five vaccination points of the hospital for emergency medicine "Pirogov" in Sofia. Vaccination is also underway at the Military Medical Academy in the capital city and some of the vaccines are administered personally by the head of the Operational Headquarters, Gen.
