A small dark blue spot on the map of Hungary updated by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in its online interface called a tracer vaccine. The others glow turquoise, light turquoise, indicating that most of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus vaccines have so far reached Hungary from the EU and the European Economic Area. This is compounded by the fact that, in addition to the vaccines jointly procured in the EU, vaccines from Russia’s Sputnik and China’s Sinopharm factory also arrive in Hungary.

Based on data from March 17

27.2 out of 100 people receive vaccinations in Hungary,

that we are currently “leaders” in the competition for the acquisition of vaccines. The following countries are also in the top 10:

  • Estonia: 100 / 21.2
  • Cyprus: 100 / 21.1
  • Netherlands: 100 / 20.6
  • Iceland: 100 / 20.5
  • Finland: 100 / 20.3
  • Denmark, Slovakia, Ireland: 100/20
  • Sweden: 100 / 19.7.

Of the reporting countries, Italy (100 / 12.7), Latvia (100 / 8.6) and Bulgaria (100 / 8.1) are the worst. There is no actionable data set for Malta.

According to data from the Center for Epidemiology, 2.19 million doses of vaccine were received in Hungary, of which 1.73 million doses were used. (This does not match the data on vakcinainfo.gov.hu: according to the government announcement of March 17, 1.39 million people have been vaccinated so far, 406 thousand of them have already received both vaccines).

Hungarians used 79.3 percent of their available vaccines.

The Czechs are positioned in exactly the same way, the Slovenians 0.1 percentage points better.

Of our region, Austrians represent 78.9 per cent, Croats 72.4 per cent, Romanians 72.1 per cent and Slovaks 74.1 per cent. For the entire continent, Lithuanians are at the forefront: 348,599 doses of vaccine have been administered and, according to ECDC data, all have already been administered. 90% of Danes, 87% of Spaniards and 84% of Estonians are not bad either. But at the forefront of this list are the Italians, who put even the most memorable heroes of the socialist labor race to shame with their results:

the data show that 273,000 more doses were administered than the total that reached the country.

This can be due to several reasons: for example, the source that the ECDC worked from may not have properly recorded the amount of vaccine arriving in the country, but it may also be the case that more doses of one dose have been withdrawn than specified.

ECDC updates its map and tables based on a total of 500 different news sources in 196 countries: they use the public database of health organizations and WHO, data from ministries of health, national authorities.
