Bulgaria to buy 10 000 doses of Sanofi-GSK vaccine against Covid-19
Bulgaria’s caretaker Cabinet approved on September 16 the purchase of 10 000 doses of the Sanofi – GlaxoSmithKline vaccine against Covid-19, a government information service statement said.
The purchase is to be made in accordance with the agreement between the European Commission and the pharmaceutical manufacturers on the development, production, purchase and supply of Covid-19 vaccines for EU countries, the statement said.
The vaccine is a single-dose one that is not expected at this stage to be used for primary immunisation, but for those who have undergone the disease or have been vaccinated with another vaccine.
It is an alternative to vaccination in people with contraindications to other types of vaccines.
The vaccine is stored at temperatures between two and eight degrees Celsius.
The expected delivery times are in the first half of 2022, the statement said.
With the country’s participation in the agreement, a wide portfolio of vaccines against Covid-19 will be provided, the statement said.
