Coronavirus: the government has made an important decision about vaccines

The Portfolio Drug Innovation Conference is coming:

The coronavirus epidemic has created an emergency situation across Europe, with more and more patients. The vaccine could be a reassuring solution. Therefore, the government seeks to obtain coronavirus vaccines for the Hungarian people from as many sources as possible. We are negotiating with all countries where vaccine research is advanced and promising. We are open to any solution, be it a vaccine from China, Russia, Israel, the United States or any other country. Under EU rules, EU member states can buy vaccines from outside the EU, with each country deciding which vaccine to authorize in its own country, according to the Government Information Center.

It is important that any country comes up with a promising vaccine, so that its import into Hungary does not run into bureaucratic obstacles and delays of several months. Therefore, the government will simplify and accelerate the regulatory procedure for obtaining and authorizing effective drugs against the vaccine and coronavirus.

The legislation allows the National Institute of Pharmacy and Food Health to temporarily authorize the domestic use of a medicine authorized in a third country to prevent the spread of the coronavirus if the product is qualitatively adequate and effective based on the tests carried out. Authorizations may be granted for a fixed period of up to six months, extendable for an additional period of up to six months in specially justified cases.
