Fully 39,000 vaccines were received in the morning, and 5,000 doses were taken directly to Semmelweis University’s central pharmacy, where health-care staff will be inoculated.
Around 2,000 health employees have already been vaccinated. So far no one has suffered an adverse reaction. Jabs will be repeated three weeks later in order to reach full protection.
