Pharmacies will again miss the deadline for flu vaccines, says Nikolay Kostov, chair of the board of the Association of Pharmacy Owners in Bulgaria. He spoke on BNT's morning show "The Day Begins".

"They were due to arrive by today, 13 November, but there is a new delay," he said.

GPs have already received their vaccines. People keep asking for them at pharmacies, phone all the time and wait for stock.

Kostov says the health ministry must step in. "In my view, the ministry should hold urgent talks with the holders of the marketing authorisations and demand guarantees from them," he told BNT.

The latest information is that the vaccines will reach distributors on Monday or Tuesday. Getting them from there to pharmacies will take another one or two days.
