Hungarian Athletes Prioritized to Receive Coronavirus Vaccine
The Hungarian government announced a few weeks ago to support giving priority access to coronavirus vaccines for Olympic athletes. Despite the controversy the issue has generated, their inoculation started on Friday morning.
The Hungarian Olympic Committee (MOB) turned to the government in mid-January to give priority order to athletes who have a chance to qualify for the next Summer or Winter Olympic Games to get vaccinated.
At the time, PMO head Gergely Gulyás said the government was open to the idea, and after discussing the matter with the MOB, athletes and their coaches participating in the Olympic games would be provided vaccines.
