SOFIA, April 2 (Reuters) - Bulgaria will receive more than 1.2 million additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine produced by BioNTech and Pfizer in the second quarter, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said on Friday.
Most European Union member states agreed late on Thursday to share part of 10 million BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine deliveries with Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia, countries they said were most in need.
But Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on Friday criticized that deal as unbalanced, saying he did not understand how the European Union could agree on such a plan when the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia opposed it, he told CTK news agency.
