If vaccinated abroad, you cannot get an immunity certificate?

PM Viktor Orbán mentioned many sectors and services in which immunity certificates will be inevitable in the next few months. If the number of inoculated people reaches 4 million, cinemas, theatres, restaurants, and bars will reopen. But only those can enter who already have the plastic card. That means mostly the elderly since the Hungarian inoculation program focused on their protection.

According to telex.hu, those can receive an immunity certificate currently who recovered from the illness and have official proof of it. Furthermore, those who can prove that there are antibodies in their blood or who already got their first dose can also get the certificate. However, it is not all the same where the jab was administered.

One of their readers wrote that he and his wife both received Pfizer shots in Serbia, but the Hungarian authorities do not acknowledge the relevant certificate. The National Public Health Centre wrote them an email saying that Hungary does not register those Hungarians who received any vaccines abroad. Therefore, it is a

prerequisite for the immunity certificate that the person receive the shots in Hungary.

The question is what happens with those who were inoculated in e.g. Dubai, who are soldiers and currently serve somewhere abroad, or work as diplomats. Furthermore, it seems that nobody knows whether double citizens or foreign citizens having a Hungarian health insurance number and working in the country

can receive a certificate if they got any or all the jabs abroad.

Finally, it also remains a question whether Hungarian authorities will inoculate foreign/EEA citizens living in Hungary or not. If not, do authorities accept a foreign certificate of inoculation issued by any country or do those concerned have to get further jabs in Hungary to go to the cinemas, theatres, bars, restaurants?

Since there are more questions than answers, they sent all of them to the chief medical officer

but have not received a reply yet.

If that happens, we will report about that, too.
