“The state has the obligation of ensuring that all activities connected with the vaccination of the population are free of charge. Some medical establishments, some GPs hadn’t realized that and were charging the public for the certificate. Everything that has to do with the immunization is free of charge, we signed the annex which is to be published in the State Gazette today,” Dr. Madzharov added.
