Bulgarian anti-Covid vaccine needs additional financing

Information about the Bulgarian vaccine against coronavirus has been extremely contradictory and inconsistent. The Ministry of Health would finance the vaccine if we had all the data and documentation, Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov has told the parliament, the 24 Chasa newspaper reported.

In the summer of 2020, scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences began developing their own vaccine. The project was funded by the Pasteur Institute with 70,000 euros. Scientists have complained that development may remain unfinished because they need co-financing. They call for another 120,000 USD for a machine to produce the drug, so the prototype of the vaccine can be ready by early summer.
