So far, 677,682 people have been vaccinated, of which 249,499 have already received their second vaccine, koronavirus.gov.hu ​​announced today. According to daily statistics, they have never received as many vaccinations as in the last 24 hours: their number has increased by 114,000 in one day for the first vaccination, while 5,000 have received 5,000 from the second vaccination. Statistics for Sunday were reported here:

Although doctors receive a significant amount of benefits under a recent government decree, even if they get vaccinated on weekends, this is probably not the first effect of this, as the decree only goes into effect on Sundays. It is conceivable that a large proportion of those vaccinated in the first days with the recent arrival of 550,000 Chinese vaccines have now appeared in the statistics. Either way, it can already be said that 7 percent of the total Hungarian population received their first vaccine. According to the announcement by Minister Gergely Gulyás on Thursday this week, so far 2,460,000 people have registered for vaccination.

GPs will continue to vaccinate with the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, each GP will be able to vaccinate an average of 50-55 enrolled elderly, and will continue to vaccinate chronic patients under the age of 60 with the AstraZeneca vaccine, which can vaccinate 10 people By practice, government officials told portal, adding: Vaccination of the elderly registered with the Pfizer vaccine will also continue at hospital vaccination points.

We write more about the Sinopharm vaccine itself here:

The week also revealed that the operative strain and vaccination team are working to modify the vaccination strategy so that as many people as possible receive the first vaccine as soon as possible, so the second vaccination would be done later in some cases. than expected.

By the way, despite this large weekly Chinese vaccine (at least half a million doses per month), the Portfolio estimates that the vaccination of the 3 million people most at risk of the coronavirus epidemic will take place at the end of April. , which will open up the economy to the general public as soon as possible. So this also means that, to our current knowledge, it is unlikely that the vaccination process can advance so fast that it alone will be able to quell the third wave of epidemics that is now exploding at a dramatic rate. At the same time, this means that the epidemic is more likely to be curbed by further hardening before vaccination takes effect.

At the EU summit on Thursday afternoon, a vaccine delivery schedule was presented to Heads of State and Government which, according to the Portfolio Calculation, states that if Hungary were solely dependent on vaccines purchased in the EU , only 1.2 million at the end of March only 3 by the end of June. Surely we could vaccinate 62 million people at home. Meanwhile, according to our model calculations, by the end of June, there will be enough vaccine in Hungary to vaccinate almost the entire Hungarian population, thanks to the Russian and Chinese vaccines.
