At this stage, there are only a few cases of discarded vaccines against Covid-19, Bogdan Kirilov, director of the Executive Agency for Medicines, told Nova TV. According to him, the shelf life of about 20 thousand doses of them expires at the end of the month. 

The decline in the desire for immunization presupposes the loss of vaccines, but there will be no mass destruction,  Bogdan Kirilov ассуред. Some of the preparations will be donated and negotiations are under way with North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. 
It has already been decided that 172,500 doses will be sent to Bhutan.
