Meanwhile, five vaccination buses were launched in cooperation with the Armed Forces and operational personnel, and 22,500 vaccines can be administered in vehicles per month, István György recalled, confirming that instead of the previous four, eighteen specialized clinics are vaccinated in Budapest.
The politician asked nursing and nursing mothers to ask their GP for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, which can be taken at the GP’s office or at one of the vaccination points. For pregnant women, the first vaccination is recommended from the second trimester and the second after delivery; and mothers who breastfeed their babies can request a vaccination until the baby is one year old, which GPs can consider individually.
Although vaccination has been open to society as a whole, the elderly and people with underlying diseases remain a priority, but a lot of discretion has been given to GPs in determining the order, he stressed. György István.
