COVID-19 vaccination in Bulgaria
The COVID-19 vaccination in Bulgaria is part of the global effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The vaccination campaign in Bulgaria began in December 2020, following the approval of the first COVID-19 vaccines by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Vaccination Strategy[edit | edit source]
The Bulgarian government developed a national vaccination plan, prioritizing certain groups based on their risk of exposure and vulnerability to COVID-19. The initial phases focused on healthcare workers, elderly individuals, and those with underlying health conditions. The plan was later expanded to include the general population.
Vaccines Used[edit | edit source]
Bulgaria has utilized several vaccines that have been approved by the EMA. These include:
- Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
- Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
- AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine
- Janssen COVID-19 vaccine
Distribution and Administration[edit | edit source]
The distribution of vaccines in Bulgaria is managed by the Ministry of Health. Vaccines are administered through a network of vaccination centers, hospitals, and general practitioners. Mobile vaccination units have also been deployed to reach remote and underserved areas.
Public Response[edit | edit source]
The public response to the vaccination campaign in Bulgaria has been mixed. While some citizens have eagerly received the vaccine, others have expressed hesitancy due to concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy. The government has launched public information campaigns to address these concerns and encourage vaccination.
Challenges[edit | edit source]
Bulgaria has faced several challenges in its vaccination campaign, including:
- Vaccine supply shortages

- Vaccine hesitancy among the population
Current Status[edit | edit source]
