Hungarian vaccine certificate available in English to travel

Travelling abroad from Hungary after being vaccinated has just become more manageable.

When, where and how to travel internationally is one of the most important questions of the past weeks and months. One crucial aspect is receiving your immunity certificate after being inoculated. There is no unilateral European decision among EU countries so far; however, Hungary has already signed many bilateral decisions with countries to accept each other’s plastic card mutually. 

Eight countries accept the Hungarian immunity certificate

The National Public Health Centre provided turizmus.hu with new and relevant information regarding the issue. As English is an official language of the EU that practically everyone speaks, all countries ask for documentation proving the vaccination in English, apart from the countries’ own language. This document so far was only issued in Hungarian. Starting from today, it will be given by the doctor who vaccinates you in English.

In case you already received your jabs, you need to ask for it from your family doctor or the vaccination centre,

since it needs to be authenticated by the vaccinating doctor. The empty document itself is available at most vaccination centres and will soon be downloadable from the koronavirus.gov.hu website or by clicking on this link. No further costs have to be paid.
