"I would have introduced mandatory vaccination against Covid-19 for some professions," epidemiologist Prof. Mira Kozhuharova, who is also an advisor to the Minister of Health, has told BNT. According to her, this should apply to people who have close encounters with the virus, as well as to those who are often seriously ill.

Prof. Kozhuharova added that she did not find understanding among her colleagues over the idea. The epidemiologist also said that all those vaccinated and those who overcame the illness would have to be vaccinated again because immunity to Covid-19 was not lifelong. According to her, the fourth wave of the coronavirus in this country was not so steep and at the moment there was a retention in the morbidity level.
