Ministry of Health and the National Council of Religious Communities in Bulgaria Start Joint Efforts to Raise Awareness of the Benefits of vaccination against COVID-19
Sofia, December 21 (BTA) - The Health Ministry and the National Council of Religious Communities in Bulgaria (CRCB) are working together to raise public awareness of the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 among the population, as well as the need to continue strict compliance with anti-epidemic measures to limit the spread of the virus in the country, said the press service of the Ministry of Health after a meeting between Health Minister Assena Serbezova and CRCB Chair Robert Dzherasi, the Secretary of the Episcopal Conferences of the Catholic Church Father Petko Valov, the Secretary of the United Evangelical Churches Greta Ganeva and External Relations Department of the Chief Mufti Hayri Emin.
All participants in the meeting expressed their readiness to help in the initiative by disseminating reliable and accessible information through information channels and social networks used by the respective communities. Religious representatives expressed the view that at this stage of the pandemic and in view of public attitudes, efforts to restore confidence in scientific advances in medicine and vaccines are key. "No religion has doctrinal prohibitions against vaccination. We have always called for compliance with measures such as distance, disinfection, wearing a face mask, and vaccination," said Robert Dzherasi.
The participants in the meeting undertook to actively cooperate with the Ministry of Health in providing reliable information to the community so that every citizen can make informed choices about vaccination. MT/DT
