New record of vaccinated for a day – 32,500, in June the vaccine of “Pfizer” can get permission for children over 12 years
Private celebrations such as baptisms, weddings, birthdays will again be able to be held with more than 15 people. This became possible after the resigned Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov lifted the restrictive measure, which has been in force without interruption since the autumn.
In this way, the green light is given to the normal holding of proms, for the organization of which high school graduates and restaurateurs were ignorant until the end.

The abolition of another anti-epidemic measure is due to a lasting trend of reducing morbidity and mortality from the coronavirus in Bulgaria, said Prof. Angelov. Our country ranks 20th in the EU in terms of morbidity, but remains 2nd in terms of mortality.
His words came after statistics announced 1,635 new infections and 164 deaths in a day on Thursday. However, in these data there is an accumulation of cases from the five days off on Easter, the minister claims. The dead on May 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 69, 36, 37 and 22, respectively, Angelov said.
47% are currently full beds for the treatment of COVID, and the occupancy of intensive care is 51%. There is more serious pressure on hospitals in Blagoevgrad, Stara Zagora, Shumen and Silistra, the resigned Minister of Health said.
“The data on the number of tests and patients are real and not distorted. We already know clearly the signs of COVID infection. We have seen a lot from practice and we know which numbers to look at. We are calm, but much depends on how the pandemic will be managed with all the measures that need to be loosened or tightened. The most important thing is that the vaccination process continues with the same force “, Angelov commented. He boasted a record 32,500 people vaccinated on Wednesday.
The preferred vaccine in our country is Pfizer, show the results of the green corridors over the weekend. Nearly 30,000 doses of it were administered from April 30 to May 4. 9017 preferred the preparation of AstraZeneca, and 2888 – of Moderna. However, this statistic also includes second injections.
“It is a matter of organization by the RHI, the medical union and the GPs to continue the vaccination process at this pace. There is a possibility

A decision on this will be made at a meeting of the vaccination headquarters on Monday, “Angelov added. The first results of the evaluation of the Pfizer vaccine for use in children over 12 years of age are also expected in June. If it is positive, its brief characteristics will be changed and the immunization of children can start in the middle of next month, said the head of the drug agency Bogdan Kirilov.
Studies are also underway on the preparation of “Modern”. If they submit evaluation documents to the EMA in the coming weeks, it may receive permission for use in children over 12 in July, Kirilov said.
In our country no cases of the so-called more dangerous variants of the virus – Brazilian, Indian and South African. The British one is 100% dominant, said the director of the Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev. However, they have been imported into Bulgaria’s neighboring countries, he warned. However, he reassured that vaccines also work on these variants of the virus, but to a lesser extent.
