The Minister's statement is reported by the Trud newspaper. 

According to Katsarov, the mistakes were related to the wrong priorities for vaccination of the elderly population in Bulgaria.

“More than 80% of deaths from COVID-19 occur in residents over 60 years of age.

Therefore, in all countries, with the exception of Bulgaria, priority is given to the elderly, ”he said.

Earlier, in a joint release from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization, it was reported that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over.
