New deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine arrive every Monday, and this week we expect 50,000 vaccines from Bulgaria and 20,000 from Greece, which will probably be from AstraZeneca. We do not have an exact date when the 500,000 Sinovac vaccines, which were announced for the beginning of June, will arrive, Filipce said last week.
