Hungary to vaccinate compatriots living in Transcarpathia?
Change language:
Hungarians living in Transcarpathia will be offered vaccinations in late May or early June, according to some sources, with the Sputnik V vaccine. It is not yet known whether “vaccine tourists” can choose from the other types of vaccines accredited in Hungary.
The possibility of vaccinating Hungarians in Transcarpathia has impressed the Ukrainian press. A freshly published article of Vesti.ua reported about the promise of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, according to which Hungarian compatriots living outside the borders will also have the opportunity to receive vaccines in Hungary.

Dmitro Razumkov, Chairman of the Supreme Council, stated that Ukraine is grateful for the support of Hungary in the field of vaccination. As he said: “It would be good to vaccinate people regardless of nationality and place of residence. It is important that the vaccine complies with all regulations in Ukraine”. However, he also added: ”As is well known, Sputnik does not meet the requirements,” for which he did not provide further explanation.
Since Trianon was in 1920, if there are any Hungarians living in Transcarpathia, they must be 100 years old or more. That does not sound like many vaccinations to give.
