Dear new expat friends,
Advice sought please.....I am asking for any information on adult whooping cough immunization. TDAP? I think it is called. I need to find out if this is available for purchase in Sophia and if so, where should I go to get this injection?
Thanking everyone for their help in advance.

It's mandatory for children in Bulgaria so I think it would be readily available in Sofia

Thank you for your quick reply. Any thoughts on a hospital or clinic/ doctor to try to go to?
I am staying in the South Park/ Paradise Mall area.
I went past a very big hospital on the way here. Not sure of its name.
I will go there today and see if anyone can help.

If they don't have the vaccine available at the hospital, you can ask most doctors to order it for you--- they usually use something called boostrix. https://apteka.framar.bg/30021104/%D0%B … %BC%D0%BB-

Thank you for your help.
I am going to Alexandra Hospital tomorrow to ask.
I have the picture you sent me, which will help with any language problems.
I saw on the map there are 3 hospitals in the one block.
I will try them all.
We are only here for 4 days, so ordering would not be possible.
