Registration for vaccine to start next week in Hungary!
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday said online and postal registration for the coronavirus vaccine is expected to start next week.
The registration would also serve as an indicator of demand for the vaccine once it is publicly available, Orbán told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio.
The inoculation protocols were drafted weeks ago, designating 13,000 venues for voluntary vaccinations and outlining which groups, such as frontline workers and the vulnerable, should have priority, he said.
Orbán said lives were being saved in hospitals while schools were saving jobs, since if children cannot go to school, their parents cannot to go to work. Orbán said the government will decide in the next 8-10 days on the rules to be followed during Christmas and the New Year.
The prime minister noted that an increasing number of people are in hospital and he warned citizens to be vigilant, and he appealed to Hungarians not to book skiing holidays abroad.

Medical Statistical Data – stands out, that Hungary – we are in the total lockdown range, and getting deeper in the need for it to happen.
What other choices do we have ?
The numbers are skyrocketing – new case daily numbers and deaths.
Big Call needed by the Government, that must be Humanitarian focused saving of lives over the economy.
If no call into action – stay as you are, end result likely to be humanitarian disaster and financial economic tragedy to catastrophic proportions.
There is no data from any county that suggests lockdowns stop virus transmission. They cause only depression and poverty among the people.
