/ world today news/ Resigned Minister of Health Petar Moskov was summoned as a result of an interrogation about vaccines.
This was confirmed by Moscow itself on Sunday. He stated that he did not know what exactly he was being called for and that during the past 2 years he had been defending the national interest of the state.
We remind you that a few days ago it became clear that the Sofia City Prosecutor’s Office is preparing charges against Petar Moskov for the vaccine scandal since the beginning of the year. Along with him, two of his deputies will also be charged. At the beginning of the year, the prosecutor’s office initiated pre-trial proceedings in connection with the barter of vaccines between Bulgaria and Turkey. In 2015, our country received 100,000 doses of Pentaxim pentavalent vaccine as a donation from Turkey. It is against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae. The vaccine is widely used because babies are subject to immunization against these diseases in their first year. As an addition to the donation, a vaccine “Euvax B” against Hepatitis B, which is not approved for use in our country, has arrived and the Ministry of Health has announced that it has kept it in stock in case of increased refugee pressure. In exchange, Bulgaria undertook to donate to the Turkish side 5 million doses of vaccines against tuberculosis (BCG), produced in our country. The import of vaccines for the mandatory immunization calendar in our country became necessary due to systemic supply problems for production reasons, which worsened in the spring of last year. That’s how you get to the donation. The subject of the investigation, which began at the beginning of the year, was not whether the vaccines were dangerous to the life and health of children when administered, but questions related to the economic feasibility of their purchase and, accordingly, the prices related to the export of vaccines, the Attorney General said at the time Sotir Tsatsarov.
