Orbán: Vaccinations Set to Start in Late December
Hungary will begin inoculating people with a Covid-19 vaccine on December 27 or 28, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a radio interview on Friday.
The first vaccine doses arriving in the country will be enough to inoculate 35,000 people, the prime minister told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio, adding that health-care workers will be the first to be vaccinated.
The vaccine will be administered to them at the Budapest South Pest Hospital and county hospitals, Orbán said.
He asked health-care workers to get the vaccine in as large numbers as possible, adding, however, that “this is in no way a general desire at the moment”.
