In the first five days of the vaccination promotion week, more than half a million vaccinations took place.

Miklós Kásler, in a post published on EMMI's Facebook page on Saturday, said: "people have been touched by the instinct to live again", and reminded that the government will extend it for another week due to the success of the action week. Thus, until December 5, vaccines can be taken at hospital vaccination points without prior registration or appointment.

In the first five days of the vaccination promotion week, more than half a million vaccinations took place, of which more than 60,000 previously unvaccinated people applied for the first vaccine.

According to the minister, the third booster vaccination is also recommended for all age groups, for all those who received the first two vaccinations more than four months ago. In the few months after the first two vaccinations, according to the tests, immunity drops significantly, but this can be increased again to approximately 90 percent with the third booster vaccination. Miklós Kásler said that the chance of being hospitalized is four times higher than unvaccinated people, and the chance of being hospitalized is ten times higher.
