Coronavirus in Hungary: First doses of vaccines expected in late December
The first dozes of coronavirus vaccines are expected to arrive in the last days of December, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his address in parliament on Monday.
Hungary’s operative board coordinating response to the epidemic has prepared a national vaccination action plan, Orbán said, noting that vaccination will be voluntary and available free of charge.
In the first phase, frontline health-care staff will be inoculated, followed by patients with chronic illnesses, he said.
“Every life matters; we have concluded a contract with every serious vaccine producer,” the prime minister said.
Current coronavirus regulations must, however, be maintained until vaccinations can begin, he said.

From what country will the vaccine be purchased ?
Citizens, from all “stations in life” – wait with “bated breath” – as to what country will win the contract.
The frontrunners are ???
The process of authority to use the “signed off ” by the Hungarian Government approved vaccine, must be by the Universal Medical Body – responsible for the approving of new vaccines for human inoculation, and the European Union.
Hungary, we follow a “due process” along these procedures, and citizens will grow in numbers and confidence, to be vaccinated and in their Respect and Gratitude of Leadership, remembering 2022, the year of our next General elections, being displayed by our Government.
Full and Total factual transparency – must unreservedly be witnessed by citizens, which I have supreme confidence our Government will be seen to embrace.
