Hungarian woman receives 4 useless immunity certificates
Change language:
An elderly lady from the 14th district of Budapest received four plastic cards proving her immunity against coronavirus. Still, she is not able to use any of them.
The immunity certificate has a vital role in every country as citizens are getting vaccinated. This plastic card gives its owner certain benefits when going out or having a drink in a bar. People have been complaining about several problems related to the certificate ever since the government started issuing them. Some people did not receive their plastic card at all, others were given one with a mistake on it, and now there is the case of this elderly lady from Budapest who is not able to enjoy the benefits of her card, despite having received 4 of it.
Are there serious problems with the Hungarian immunity certificate?
The mistake that was committed by the Bureau of the capital of Budapest is very simple. They issued the certificate with a wrong, already expired ID number.
Although she has asked for a new one repeatedly, she kept on receiving the same plastic card containing the same expired identification number.
Moreover, the Bureau even wants to charge her 3000 forints for the change, with which she has been struggling for months now.
“This is the first immunity certificate I got after being vaccinated, and then I received another one almost every month, practically every three weeks”, shows Irén Béláné Kiss to ATV.hu all her plastic cards.
Many would envy her for these four cards; however, it is worth very little since she cannot use any of them for being invalid. She immediately wrote an email reporting the problem to the Bureau, from where she was directed to the municipality.
Two weeks after making her fill out a reclamation form, she was sent a new immunity certificate with the same problem,
the wrong ID number. Then she had to start everything all over again: “I went to the Bureau to notify them about the issue, that it is not good, it is again not correct. I repeated this three times.”
