Human resources minister welcomes WHO’s immunisation strategy
Human Resources Minister Miklós Kásler on Monday welcomed the World Health Organisation’s new Immunization Agenda 2030 strategy, saying it would help save more than 50 million people over the next decade.
“Vaccines in the current phase of the fight against the pandemic mean hope and life in our country and the world over,” Kásler said in a video on Facebook.
“It is in this spirit that I encourage my compatriots to take the vaccine.”
The minister noted that the new strategy was introduced by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus as part of the organisation’s World Immunization Week 2021 campaign.
Terraces have opened on Saturday
The number of Hungarians vaccinated against Covid-19 reached 3.5 million yesterday, so restaurant and bar terraces have opened this Saturday.
Gergely Gulyás told a press briefing on Thursday that open-air facilities, similarly to shops, can stay open until 9.30pm, while the night-time curfew will begin an hour later at 11pm. Reopening catering facilities is “the first step towards regaining freedom”, Gulyás said, adding that he hoped faster steps could follow.
He added that “a large amount of vaccine is expected to arrive soon”.
During the next week one million doses of the Chinese vaccine will arrive, as well as 200,000 first doses of the Russian vaccine, Gulyás said, adding that the second dose of the latter would follow promptly. Over 300,000 doses of Pfizer will also arrive next week, he added.
So far, some 4.4 million have registered for the vaccine and 73% of them have received their jabs. Hungary will need some 6 million people vaccinated to reach herd immunity, he added.
Total number of Deaths – 27,172.
Active Cases – 250,143.
Serous/Life Support – 702.
Ratio on population of 9.6 million per 500 residents/citizens – Medical Statistical Data indicates – that 1 in every 370 citizens of Hungary, are loosing their life to this deadly on-going novel coronavirus.
This represents Globally – that Hungary is in the position that reflects the WORST – death to civilian for a population it’s size – GLOBALLY.
Our Government – continues Economics domination of it’s Political ideas over Humanity.
Spin & Propaganda – is rampant, arising out of our Government, that lacks Factuality.
Government focused on the “youth” voters – promises” wanting to brain wash and capture their votes at the May 2022 – National Elections.
The issuing of Immunization Cards to Citizens – a Shambles.
Un-employment continues to Rise.
Relationships with The European Union – Europe & Internationally – strained and will worsen over the – National issued Hungarian Immunization Cards.
Hungary – steam rolled ahead going it’s own path against the European Union – rules and regulations, established in the use of vaccines, purchasing the Russian & Chinese “versions” and – Europe and the World will join the European Union in support that will not acknowledge IMMUNIZATION by use of the RUSSIAN & Chinese supposed vaccines.
All major economic indicators used to access a countries PERFORMANCE – indicate Hungary – we are in TROUBLE.
Hungary – we continue to IGNORE the advice of Medical Science and “on-wards and up-wards” path we go, in the opening up of our country.
Testing and Challenging times – that indicate as a country we are in difficult worsening times, that the end, is not within immediate sight.
Professor “MAD DOG” Caritas goes on and on and on and on …. just like a broken record.
We are totally sick and tired of the repetitive CRAP that he writes from a position of TOTAL IGNORANCE.
It’s about time that this particular YANKEE went back home to the U.S.A. where he can fart like a cowboy who eats nothing but baked beans.
Balance and transparency. The economy has to restart sometime but we also need honesty and humility from the government. We all have access to other forms of media and it doesn’t always match what is said here. It’s a pandemic, a tragic time that most of us in our lifetime have never experienced or will ever experience again. The world has changed. And let’s not forget, it did come from China. So come on Fidesz, if you want re electing stop the rhetoric and be more honest.
