Opinions are divided on whether or not a third vaccination should be given, and the WHO has also published a skeptical resolution to this effect. However, there is no need to be afraid of this, so the government allows the third vaccination to be taken, but they recommend that it happens four months after the second vaccination and GPs can deviate from this decision if necessary – said the Prime Minister of Kossuth Radio Good Morning, Hungary! on Friday.
There will be no vaccination order because they do not want to burden health care with administrations, the prime minister added. The required amount of vaccine is available, and doctors will decide what type of vaccine to vaccinate the individual with. The possibility of taking the third vaccine will be available from August 1, said Viktor Orbán.
Hungary is in second place in terms of vaccination. The second vaccination was given to many more people in Hungary than in other European countries.
Vaccination is still not mandatory, except for healthcare workers
Viktor Orbán said that he was not in favor of making vaccination mandatory, but they made an exception, health care workers must take up vaccination against the coronavirus. Already, there have been vaccinations without which one could not work in health care. This list will now be expanded by one. They heal people so we can’t risk not being vaccinated, he stressed.
Unvaccinated elderly people are visited in person by doctors
Fifteen percent of the elderly have not yet taken the coronavirus vaccine. They are at risk, especially since the emergence of the delta variant, which is much more contagious than previous mutations. This, the elderly who have not yet been vaccinated, will be visited in person by GPs and residents. But even so, it will not be mandatory for the elderly to take the vaccine. They decide, the government just wants to do everything it can – Viktor Orbán emphasized.
Vaccination promotions in schools
In September, before school starts, a vaccination campaign will be organized in every school, where almost every child, parent and teacher can take the vaccination, among those who have not done so before.
Only travel abroad if you have received the second vaccination
No travel restrictions have been imposed by the government, but it is asking citizens to travel abroad only if they have received their second vaccination. This is necessary so that they do not bring in another variant of the virus.
