Bulgaria’s caretaker Health Minister Stoicho Katsarov issued an order on May 28 that general practitioners may also administer vaccinations against Covid-19 to those not on their lists of patients.
The Health Ministry said in a media statement that the order had been communicated to the regional health inspectorates, which must notify the medical establishments in their districts.
Earlier this week, by order of the Sofia regional health inspectorate, one of the vaccination points at the Alexandrovska Hospital in
Bulgaria’s capital city extended its opening hours to 11pm for people unable to go for immunisation during working hours.
Bulgaria began its vaccination campaign against Covid-19 on December 27.
According to the national information system daily report on May 17, a total 3390 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 were administered in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 1 116 741.
So far, 414 729 people in Bulgaria have completed the vaccination cycle, meaning either that they have received a second dose or one from a single-dose vaccine. This figure includes 1581 in the past 24 hours.
“We all want an hour sooner to remove the restrictive measures and return to our normal way of life. The decrease in the spread of the virus that we have registered in recent weeks is due to time rather than our actions,” Katsarov said in the video.
