I wonder if there is a supply of the boosted flu shots (higher active ingredient) for adults over 65? In September, the Ministry of He alth published a press release that such vaccines will be delivered to Bulgaria for the first time. My question is if they are available and if so how can seniors get them?

All he alth insured persons who are 65 years of age on the vaccination date now have access to flu shots. Pursuant to the National Program for the Improvement of Vaccination Prevention of Seasonal Influenza 2019-2022, adopted by Decision No. 6 of January 10, 2019 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria (National Program), which is administered by the NHIF, general practitioners may request quantities prophylactic influenza vaccines to the designated wholesaler required to immunize the target population on their patient list.

Physicians will immunize patients over the age of 65 with chronic diseases as a priority.
