The complaint was registered on 25 January 2022. It concerns Articles 11 (the right to the protection of health) and Article E (non-discrimination) in conjunction with this provision of the revised European Social Charter. OSEPI alleges that, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, Bulgaria has failed to protect the right to protection of health of older adults and persons with underlying medical conditions, by not providing them with a priority and effective access to Covid-19 vaccines, by failing to develop a communication campaign and strategy about Covid-19 vaccines and by failing to provide guidance and training to health care staff in breach of the above-mentioned provisions of the Charter. OSEPI further requests the Committee to indicate to the Bulgarian Government immediate measures in order to avoid the irreparable harm or injury of having a significant additional number of old persons and people with health conditions in Bulgaria dying or contracting serious disease because of Covid-19 without having been vaccinated.
