A total of 4 million Hungarians have been inoculated against the Covid-19 virus, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a post on Friday afternoon. “Vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate! To be continued!”, he said on Facebook.
Orban told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio on Friday morning that Hungary was certain to pass the 4 million mark on Friday, opening the door for the
new regulations to be introduced on Saturday.

Venues offering leisure activities that were shut in November will reopen to vaccination certificate holders, including zoos, wildlife parks, museums, theatres, cinemas and libraries.
Gyms, swimming pools and skating rinks will also reopen to certificate holders and to all professional sportspeople aged under 18. Sports events can be visited by certificate holders and accompanied minors until 11pm and they will not be expected to wear face masks.

TOO SOON
ONE VACCINE DOES NOT MAKE YOU IMMUNE IN 24 HOURS. LISTEN TO THE SCIENCE.
It seems Vaccine Passport is working now, but the government has not updated the vaccine system for the expats without TAJ card yet. That is unfair honestly.
Not much point having a great reopening on a day that everything is shut. Perhaps I still too used to London. The only days shops are shut are Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. The May Day holiday is always the first Monday of May which also makes more sense than rigidly sticking to the 1st.
Su – even if have got a Taj card and had the jabs, if one is an ex pat one won’t receive the Vaccine Certificate Card to prove it. The crappy system only spits them out if one has a Hungarian ID Card, it is not programmed to use passport numbers! You can explain until you are blue in the face that if a Brit, we don’t have ID cards. Years ago the government in the UK tried to introduce them and there was uproar! Everybody said that ID cards would be an infringement of civil liberties, would lead to a police state and that it reeked of communism. Try explaining that to a Hungarian civil servant!
Hi, Anonymous
I agree with you. China, as a commumist state, has not implemented Vaccine Certificate policy yet. How Hungary is so rush to do that?? I just wanna complain about so called Vaccine Certificate here . It will be so embraassing and annoying that i have to show the vaacine certificate to the staff so that i am allowed to enter swimming pool or a indoor cafe.
Besides that, the situation is not like the government announced three days ago that all expats are available to be vaccinated since today. The vaccine system is still nothing changed! What a joke it is ! ! !
