Bulgaria re-opens “green corridors” for Covid-19 vaccination

The head of Bulgaria’s Covid-19 vaccination task force, Krassimir Gigov, on February 28 issued guidelines to all regional health inspectorates to re-open “green corridors” where there are not enough willing people from priority groups to be vaccinated and the doses that are not used for them to be re-directed to people who want to get vaccinated.

52 800 doses of AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in Bulgaria this morning and were distributed to the regional health inspectorates.

Gigov said that interest in being immunised was extremely high and there were many people waiting to receive vaccines.

PM Borissov said that all who were queueing to be vaccinated should be admitted.

As soon as the new doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine arrived, general practitioners in Sofia were queueing in front of the building of the regional health inspectorate to collect doses from in order to be able to start immunisation of people willing to get the vaccine.
