Hungary will offer to inoculate foreign nationals living in border regions against the coronavirus from July, the government said on its website late on Tuesday.
Â
Foreign nationals living in areas along the borders Hungary shares with Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Slovakia will be able to get a Covid jab at designated inoculation sites in Hungary.
Â
Registration will take place on site. People will not be permitted to select the vaccine administered but will get the Covid jab that is available.
Â
Offering the vaccine to foreign nationals aged 18 and older will contribute to the pandemic defence of Hungarian nationals and Hungarians living in border regions outside of the country, the government said. Details of the measure will be published in a decree on Monday. Hungary has inoculated more than half of its population against the coronavirus.

That’s another way of playing Political Spin by propaganda – removed of Honesty, that on offer will be the Chinese vaccine “conglomeration – only.
By time July comes around the global “mood” of opinion and medical statistics being presented globally – its disgracefully low immune rate of just 22% – being AGAIN reported on this Chinese vaccine “conglomeration” – will be a major point of political discussion in Hungary.
Will we need to be again vaccinated, those of us in the millions in Hungary – who have been immunized with this Chinese vaccine “conglomeration – in the next (12) twelve months ?
What happens if we get the new strain that is causing AGAIN havoc in the United Kingdom ?
Vaccines – other than the Chinese or Russian – it is being COMMUNICATED – provides us a greater chance of survival against new and potential new strains.
What a dilemma and on-going mounting Challenges that confront the Orban Government.
Deep and Penetrating questions appear daily to be aimed at the Orban Government, just not arising out of the European Union, but globally – that are damaging and blackening – the brand name Hungary.
Hungary – we don’t want BAD news on this Chinese vaccine “conglomeration”.
Bad News – could be a disaster possible cataclysmic for us.
