Müller: The epidemic is a little different than we expected

Many call their GP to see if they are on the vaccine list. Szabolcs Békássy, the collegiate leader of the national general practitioner, asked people not to do so, that the doctor would notify them when it was their turn.

He mentioned in the briefing of the operational staff that the lists sent to the doctors have not always been updated so far, but now they have been promised that those who have recently registered will also be. It was suggested that it be made available to doctors from the week. This week

• 2,040 GPs can vaccinate chronic patients under 59 with AstraZeneca
• The oldest are vaccinated in 2964 practices,
• In Budapest, 560 GPs can send five patients to hospital vaccinations, they get vaccinated with Sputnik.

45,600 doses of AstraZeneca and 21,600 doses of Moderna vaccine will arrive Thursday. Half of that is enough to vaccinate so many people.

Medical director Cecília Müller said she was confident that young people who do not suffer from chronic diseases could be vaccinated from March.

The numbers are not good

According to Szabolcs Békássy, after 2-3 calmer weeks, more and more infected patients have consulted GPs in recent days.

Müller also spoke of “the epidemic is going a little different now than we expected”, the second wave stopped. As we reported this morning, mortality and infection data is deteriorating more and more dramatically. We asked him on Tuesday what percentage of those infected were infected with the British mutation, which is spreading faster and could explain the rising numbers. An estimated 24 of those samples were found. It is not clear if you are a total of 100. (In mid-January, the British variant was identified in five out of 100 samples in the Pécs laboratory, and then only five cases were found in the brochure).

In recent days, the rules for wearing masks have also been relaxed in Miskolc and Kecskemét. Müller said it is too early.
