Hungarian health workers getting vaccinated at 25 locations
A total of 2,461 health-care staff at three locations in Budapest and two in the countryside received vaccination against the coronavirus in the past three days, a department head of the National Public Health Centre said on Tuesday.
Ágnes Galgóczi told a press conference of the operative board coordinating response to the epidemic that a new shipment of the vaccine is expected to arrive in Hungary this week, allowing inoculation to continue at 25 locations.
The first shipment of 9,750 doses will be enough to inoculate 4,875 persons (the jab must be repeated 21 days after the first), details HERE.
Commenting on 6,000 ampoules of Russian vaccine that were delivered in Hungary on Monday afternoon, she said they offered an opportunity for scientific cooperation, enabling the Hungarian authorities to assess additional vaccines.
Commenting on fake news about Pfizer’s vaccine, she said it did not contain the virus or even a part of the virus, only genetic information about the coronavirus’s signature spike protein which triggers anti-bodies.
As we wrote a few days ago, only 35-40 pc of Hungarian healthcare workers asked for the vaccination, read more HERE.
