Chief physician János Szlávik also spoke optimistically about the coronavirus vaccines in development and the spread of the epidemic on M1.

The coronavirus vaccine will be free and voluntary, but everyone is recommended to get vaccinated, so spoke János Szlávik, head of the National Institute of Hematology and Infectious Diseases at South Pest Central Hospital, on the current M1 channel.

He said it is good news that the effectiveness of vaccines is expected to exceed 90 percent, so a major epidemic can be avoided by vaccinating between 50 and 60 percent of the population. However, it is important to vaccinate the population as soon as possible after the vaccines are released.

Slavik also spoke about the fact that newly developed vaccines will not detect long-term side effects, so the vaccine from anywhere in the world will be safe. He said it was extremely favorable for Hungarian specialists to be able to test the Russian vaccine at the production site. He noted that, as a member of the European Union, Hungary has stockpiled 4-5 types of vaccines, of which smaller doses may arrive in December and larger quantities next year.

There is a global consensus, added the chief doctor, that sick elderly people will be vaccinated first and then they will be responsible for the operations of the country: for example, health workers, educators and police.

However, in the next period, the number of infected and dead people may increase, but the epidemic is expected to reach its peak by Christmas, said the chief physician of South Pest Central Hospital. János Szlávik also spoke about the fact that newly acquired ventilators perform excellently at his institution, no problems were detected with them.

The coronavirus vaccine was at hand, but at the same time, a life and death struggle began between the countries of the world. Gergely Gulyás compared the race directly to the race for the fans, in which the one with the most money and the most pressing power wins. Meanwhile, Pfizer announced that it would be shipped to the United States for the first time, and the vaccine from AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford revealed yesterday that it needed to be retested. But what about the 12 million doses tied up by Hungary?
