Even those who died of COVID-19 received their immunity certificate

According to the government, the results of their new national consultation will decide what rights people with an immunity certificate will get. Interestingly, the authorities sent these immunity certificates with many mistakes, provoking public outcry in Hungary.

According to Népszava, people have started to receive their immunity certificates, but many found significant errors. Based on the regulations, everybody who received the vaccine gets a plastic card, regardless of the type or whether they already got the infection.

Officially, in the case of people who are inoculated, there is no deadline on the card. Meanwhile, those who were infected receive the certificate for six months. Those who can prove that they have antibodies can receive a certificate valid for four months.  

However, the reality is a bit different, according to the information of Népszava and RTL Klub. A man, requesting his identity not to be revealed, said that his father died on March 1 but received his immunity certificate on March 17. He added that getting such a letter two weeks after his father’s death was

not only insulting but also baffling.

Others said that the deadline written on their certificate did not match the official announcements. A woman said that she received the vaccine on March 8, but the deadline for her certificate is May 13, which is less than three months, even though it should be infinite. She added that the same happened with her husband, who received his jab on March 7, but his card is also valid only until May 13.
