All Covid-19 vaccination certificates issued so far will be reissued. This was said by the Minister of Health Dr. Stoycho Katsarov in an interview on Bulgaria On Air TV. The reissue is required in connection with the uniform format of the document adopted by the EU.

"The grace period in which the old certificates will be valid will be until mid-July," said Minister Katsarov, adding that there is no need to gather many people for reissuance. It is about 400-500 thousand certificates. The best option for people is to receive their new certificates from the place where they were immunized," Katsarov explained.

He pointed out that for the certificate for recovery from Covid-19 is valid for 6 months, while for the vaccination certificate there is no deadline yet, but it will probably be set.
