Hungarian vaccination – changes to certificates and outstanding statistics
Change language:
The Hungarian government recently had a major announcement concerning stricter coronavirus measures, but besides the clarification of the statement, in the Hungarian Official Journal issued on Friday night, the government modified the existing conditions to be able to acquire a vaccination certificate or rather an “immunity” certificate. At the same time, Hungary becomes one of the top 15 best-vaccinated countries concerning doses per capita.
Apart from clarifying what the affected stores and services are under the latest COVID-19 government restrictions, the Hungarian government also made a few modifications to who might receive a vaccination certificate or, to be more precise, an “immunity” certificate. The latter best describes it, as not only those can get such a certificate who are vaccinated against the coronavirus with vaccines accepted in the EU or in Hungary but also those who have recovered from the infection and can certify it.
Portfolio highlights that the change mostly concerns the details of this government measure, meaning that while previously, only those could receive the certificate who had been vaccinated by the “amount specified by the manufacturer of the vaccine” – this probably refers to the fact that most manufacturers’ vaccines perform the best after the second dose –
the change in the text suggests that those who have only received one dose will also receive their certificates.
