Today, the first shipment of vaccines arrived in Hungary at South Pest Central Hospital, and vaccination of healthcare workers will start first.
The first shipment of vaccines will be followed by newer ones in the coming weeks and will continue to vaccinate health workers for several weeks at the same rate.

More than 300,000 people have already registered for vaccines on the website https://vakcinainfo.gov.hu/. The vaccination will be free and voluntary. The post office will deliver a letter to pensioners in December informing them of the possibility of registration by the national medical director, Cecília Müller.

For the benefit of families and businesses, the government has planned the incorporation of an action plan for economic protection.

Families raising and expecting children are supported by the government with a discounted home renovation loan of up to HUF 6 million, with a maximum interest rate of 3 percent. Of this amount, 3 million HUF is a non-refundable grant, which can be used at the end of the renewal and automatically reduces the loan amount.

In Hungary, everyone has a hospital bed, care, a ventilator and the goal of protective measures is to keep it that way. To continue providing hospital care to coronavirus patients with an increasing number of patients, deferred surgeries have been suspended and the number of hospitals involved in care and the number of hospital beds reserved for coronavirus patients has increased.
