“The mass vaccination against coronavirus could be resumed by the end of next week, as another 56,000 Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are expected in the country,” Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, Director of the National Centre of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases said in an interview for the BNR.
He stated that none of three vaccines administered in this country has more undesirable effects than the vaccines administered to children for years. In Dr. Todor Kantardzhiev’s words Bulgaria has not been placed at a significant disadvantage in the distribution of vaccines in the EU.
“High-level political talks are being held on how to compensate for the inability of the companies to keep the promises for which they have been paid,” he said.
“We are now waiting for the written position of the European regulator on the quality of the AstraZeneca vaccine so as to resume the mass immunization in the country,” the epidemiologist said, and added that the quality and the undesirable effects of the vaccine had been a “little overdramatized”.
