Hungary lends Slovenia 300,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines

Hungary has lent 300,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines to Slovenia to help it speed up its inoculation campaign, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said after talks with Prime Minister Janez Jansa and Health Minister Janez Poklukar in Ljubljana on Wednesday.

Hungary already has enough jabs stored for everyone registered in Hungary, Szijjártó told a joint press conference.

The pandemic highlights the importance of mutual dependence among neighbouring countries,

Szijjártó said.

Successful protection efforts in neighbouring countries also contribute to the safety of Hungarians, he said. The speedier their inoculation campaign progresses, the sooner Hungarians can travel without restrictions without the risk of infection, he added.
