More than 4.8 million people have already registered for vaccination and 80% have received it. You can currently book Sinopharm, AstraZeneca and Szputnyik vaccines in the online appointment booking system. At midnight on Friday, the registration of 16-18-year-olds for next week's vaccination closed, more than 84,000 young people have registered, and they will also be able to make an online appointment within a few days, which they will receive separate information about. General practitioners can continue vaccination with Sinopharm, Janssen and Moderna vaccines.

For those who have not yet done so, register for vaccination on the website www.vakcinainfo.gov.hu, because vaccination is the only way out of the epidemic.
