What happens when everyone who registered gets vaccinated in Hungary?

It is important to restart the economy and ease the general stress levels of people who are suffering because of the restrictions, but with too early relaxation, the number of those infected can blow up so much that the number of people in hospital could start to rise again. This could result in a dramatic rise in the number of deaths.

Hungary is now seemingly over the peak of the third wave. The bad news is that the situation is still very severe, and the infection statistics might be distorted because fewer tests were done over the holiday weekend than normally.

Nevertheless, the government continues to insist on reopening. Based on the vaccination plan, we will reach three million people vaccinated at the beginning of the week, which, according to Viktor Orbán, is the next milestone. After that they can decide on further reopening steps.

The chances of success of the Hungarian vaccination program could be further worsened if it turns out that the vaccines are not as effective as they are said to be. This possibility has been highly suspected in the case of Chinese vaccines, but now the head of the Chinese Epidemiological Center has acknowledged that there is room for improvement in their vaccines’ effectiveness.

Recently, the Serbian authorities were also confronted with the fact that in the case of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine, many did not start adequate antibody production. At the beginning of March, the third round of vaccinations (as in an additional dose) was started in the United Arab Emirates.
