Nearly 274,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine have arrived in Bulgaria earlier today. This preparation, as well as the AstraZeneca vaccine, will be administered to everyone wishing to get vaccination in the green vaccination corridors until 9 May.

The outgoing Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov stated at a briefing that an analysis of the available doses of vaccines was forthcoming and, if possible, the green corridors would be extended. He said that a new procedure would be launched on May 10, where GPs would be able to request the desired number of vaccines and receive information when they could receive them. At the moment, doctors are queuing up in person to get the necessary vaccines, BNR reported.
