Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev announced that the vaccination task force will make a decision on the administering of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Bulgaria on Monday at the earliest, BNR’s Horizont channel reports. He specified that this will take place after the US Food and Drug Administration makes its decision.

“We are currently in contact with several European countries. We would like to see a uniform European decision if possible, and a uniform practice. If that is achieved – OK, if not we shall make a decision of our own in any case,” Dr. Kunchev said.

Additional information is expected on Monday regarding the “green corridors” – walk-in vaccination centres, he added.
