Military Medical Academy

The new contingent of vaccines was welcomed by the Minister of Defense, Nebojsa Stefanovic, who especially thanked for the 200.000 doses donated by the Chinese army.

From Monday, March 8, the scheduled admissions in all hospitals in Sofia will be suspended, an Order issued on March 5 by the head of Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate, Dancho Penchev, says.

The "green corridors" for free vaccination against Covid-19 are working again, but under one condition: immunisation will be underway in major Sofia hospitals if there are no waiting patients listed for the first four phases of the vaccination plan. In some places, vaccines reserves are already exhausted and the sites are temporarily closed.

The additional vaccination slots or the so-called immunization "green corridors" opened in the Military Medical Academy will be temporarily unavailable due to exhausted vaccine reserve.

"Yesterday we noticed that more people were coming for vaccination between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., but in the afternoon it is generally very calm. As of 4 p.m. yesterday, 1,150 people had been vaccinated at the Military Medical Academy (MMA). That's what the Deputy Director of the MMA Col. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dimo Dimov told BGNES.

Nearly 30,000 vaccines have been administered in Bulgaria in the three days since Prime Minister Boyko Borissov ordered that "green lanes" should open for anyone willing to be inoculated against the coronavirus.  The authorities report the public is showing a strong interest in getting vaccinated.

There is a persistent trend towards more cured coronavirus patients relative to newly infected cases. This information was reported at a regular briefing of the National Operational Headquarters.

 The first 10,000 vaccines developed by Pfizer/Biontech will arrive on December 26 in Bulgaria.

On the next day the immunization will begin and the first vaccinated will be medics working on the front line in the fight against COVID 19. This became clear at the briefing of the National Operations Headquarters.

Gen. Ventsislav Mutafchiiski, Head of the National Operational Headquarters and Director of the Military Medical Academy has sent a touching Christmas message to the medical professionals on the frontline of the battle against coronavirus in Bulgaria, Bulgaria OnAir reports.  

Director General of the Bulgarian Red Cross Prof. Dr. Krassimir Gigov will head the Coordination Council, which will in charge of the implementation of the Coronavirus Vaccination Plan.
