Index – National – Hungary is doing well in terms of population vaccination and number of daily vaccinations

  • We compiled a 30-day breakdown of how the number of vaccinated increased in Hungary
  • We analyzed the number of people vaccinated in Hungary per day on a 30-day breakdown based on data from Our World in Data.
  • We examined the number of people vaccinated in neighboring countries (Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Ukraine) on the basis of the same source, broken down by 30 days.

“The Hungarian vaccination program is one of the most successful in Europe, Hungary already ranks second in the EU ranking in terms of vaccination of the population,” the Secretary of State for Communication and International Relations told Politico on Wednesday that Hungary is the last in the European ranking. Union in terms of administered vaccines. Zoltán Kovács wrote in a rebuttal posted on his community page that 11 percent of the Hungarian population had already received the vaccine, but the EU average was only 6 percent, showing that Hungary made a good decision. when it “acquired vaccines under national competition.” “

The ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control), from which the EU Affairs newspaper also took the data, is not surprisingly working with performance, so the figures are not updated “in real time”. According to its latest report of March 10, Hungary is already at 12.4% in terms of vaccination of the population (3.9% second vaccination), leaving only Malta ahead of the EU Member States with 14.9% (6.5% second vaccination). percentage). Here you can see the updated database.

Numerically, 1,107,791 people (317,906 people received a second vaccine) were vaccinated in Hungary on March 10, and in early April, about two million people could receive the vaccine, said the head of the epidemiology department of the National Center for Public Health. (NNK) Hungary! in your program. Ágnes Galgóczi added that it largely depends on the vaccines arriving on time.

We were curious to know how many vaccines the government counts per day, how much it considers optimal to meet the goals recently set by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, which is to vaccinate a total of 2.5 million people in Hungary in early April and early of May. 5 million, and then 7 and 8 million, but we did not receive a response from the Coronavir Press Center until our article was published.

If we take the figures and target dates set by the Prime Minister on Facebook as a guide, at the beginning of April, the Prime Minister has not given a specific date, only one month, 1,392,209 more people will have to be vaccinated in 21 days. . This represents an average of 66,295 people vaccinated per day.

Looking at the last thirty days, it can be seen that this is a very tight pace, it is no coincidence that the experts told the Index that in addition to the burden on public health, it would be worthwhile to involve private health capacities in vaccination.

It is memorable that shortly after the millionth man was vaccinated at home, according to the ECDC data series, the head of government spoke about the fact that Hungary is well above the EU average, ahead of countries so prestigious like Germany and Austria. (When the video was shown, 10.26 per cent after Malta, Hungary ranked second among EU countries in terms of population vaccination – ed.

The index below summarized the number of vaccinated going back one month. Data posted on the government’s coronavirus information page was used for screening. These are already added values, so the first and second vaccinations are included, broken down by days.

If we look at the extreme values, from February 10 to 11, for example, only a few thousand people were vaccinated daily (292,627 to 294,624), while from March 5 to 6 the number of vaccinations exceeded 86,000 per day (862,953). 949497), which is a huge leap.

  • March 10th – 1 107 791

In Our World in Data we can also find data on how many people have been vaccinated in Hungary, we can also use a graph to examine the given day, by number, and we can even drag several countries to the interactive interface. We can navigate the site until December 29, 2020, but the figures for Hungary should be treated with caution, because compared to the detection of the National Center for Public Health (the government corona virus information page is also up to date ), the data is slightly delayed, so it is not immediately updated to the ECDC already discussed above. By this, I mean the change of course that takes a long time, our government source also explained why the vaccination data on the government pages and Our World in Data do not match, regardless of whether the synchronization is continuous.

Similar to the table above, we use 30 calendar days to process our World in Data data and examine Hungary from the west: Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Romania, but if you want to see the other countries, you can easily do so by clicking here .

On February 10, Romania still ranked first in terms of daily vaccine injections (28,395), almost three times more than Hungary (11,123), but ahead of Austria (14,507) and Slovakia (10,233).

Population:

There are 19.4 million people in Romania, 8.8 million in Austria, 5.45 million in Slovakia, 44 million in Ukraine and 2.1 million in Slovenia.

By the way, Romania kept their priority until February 24, after which Hungary outperformed and has held since then. Furthermore, on March 5 (this was the peak), almost twice as many doses were administered at home as in the second Romania, although the 32,419 vaccinated people were not a small part of them (on this day they were 63,767 with us).

This date was a turning point, as 59,185 people were vaccinated in Hungary on March 9 (this was the last update of Our World in Data), the second in Romania was 43,603, and Austria, which is increasingly “susceptible “to the oriental vaccines, received only 22,762 people.

Overall, we see that Hungary is doing well not only in terms of vaccinating the population, but also in terms of the number of daily vaccinations. By the way, the amount of Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine attached has increased from 6.5 million doses to 10.9 million, according to the government. Therefore, Hungary has immobilized a total of 31 million doses of vaccine. Of this amount, 24 million doses of vaccine are expected from the EU purchase, 6% of which so far come from three manufacturers (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca).
