Foreign minister: 1 m Chinese vaccines instead of 400,000 by end-April

Hungary has managed to procure 1 million Chinese vaccine doses instead of the 400,000 originally scheduled for delivery by the end of April, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Saturday.

Szijjartó noted recent delays in deliveries of vaccines procured by the European Union, saying that often fewer vaccines arrived than promised or entire shipments were cancelled.

“This now applies to around half a million Western vaccines,” he said.

In addition to the 400,000 vaccines due in April, China is delivering 600,000 doses due in May ahead of schedule, he said, adding that this would offset the delay in Western shipments.
