Moderna vaccine to be merchandised in Hungary?
Change language:
Medison Pharma could be the retailer of the Moderna vaccine in Central and Eastern Europe and Israel.
Ever since there is a working vaccine, let alone so many varieties, the question arose immediately of whether one day they would be available for any citizen to buy and to be vaccinated when they choose to. In some countries, this form already exists, like
San Marino that offers tourists the Russian vaccine.
Even though the jabs right now are free and financed by every country’s government, overall, the vaccination process of the population could go faster if people did not have to put their names on a long waiting list but instead buy the vaccine they desire and get inoculated right away. Especially as the example if Israel shows how important the vaccine is in fighting the pandemic and returning to normality. As people are already tired of the lockdown situation spiced with many restrictions and measurements, the market-based selling of the vaccine sounds like a good idea, even though it would cost a bit more due to having a mediate company between the manufacturer and the buyer. Nevertheless, especially right before summer, many people would be willing to pay to get vaccinated much faster than they usually would in their country’s system.
As hvg.hu writes, the Moderna vaccine could be the first to be sold on the market and be available for anyone.
