Numbers are stubborn things

He said that the administration of the AstaZeneca vaccines, which had been postponed from the previous week, had been carried out successfully this week, without problems or problems.

István György stated that in most places the vaccinations were carried out without disturbances or riots, there were only one or two tumultuous scenes. He mentioned the Ferenc Jahn Hospital as an example, but said that this problem was also eliminated within an hour. The Secretary of State pointed out that there are still many who arrive at the vaccination site long before the specified date.

The head of the national vaccination working group pointed out that Monday and Tuesday are still from the vaccination week, but there is also a plan for next week. But there will be fewer vaccines available next week. Hospital vaccination sites will be vaccinated with Pfizer and GPs will be vaccinated with AstraZeneca.

It will also help them move the vaccination program efficiently and quickly, he stated.

Our political opponents are trying to take advantage of everything

He said that there are municipalities that are showing a lot of activity and installing vaccines, but there is no need for that at the moment. The number of vaccines is sufficient, he said, adding that vaccines will come out of the health system if there is a special reason for it.
