Will the Hungarian vaccine passport be accepted in the EU?

Based on the information provided by the Government Information Centre, the Hungarian vaccine passport will be accepted in the EU without the indication of the type of vaccine.

Previously, opposition party MSZP has been worried about what would happen to cross-border workers if, like Poland, no other member state accepted the vaccination certificate of workers who did not receive an EU-authorised vaccine. This was based on the fact that the government decree on the content of the vaccination certificate was amended unexpectedly over the weekend, as a result of which

the Hungarian vaccine passport will not indicate the type of vaccination received.

As Hungarian news portal Index reports, the decision has been made despite the fact that a few weeks ago, the government decided to set up a common vaccination card in the EU that includes the type of vaccination. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced on 1st March that it would take at least three more months for the technical background for a common EU digital vaccination certificate to be established.
