The Russian coronavirus vaccine “Sputnik V” can be vaccinated in Hungary. The Center for National Public Health (NNK) has given its approval after completing the necessary tests, Hungarian Health Minister Miklos Kasler announced yesterday on Facebook. This means that the EU country of Hungary is now using a vaccine that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has not yet approved.
The minister further explained that four vaccines are available in Hungary in the fight against the coronavirus: those of the companies Biontech/Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca, as well as “Sputnik V.” Right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban had already announced on Friday that the administration of the Russian vaccine could begin next week. Hungary has ordered a total of two million doses of “Sputnik V,” which should arrive within three months.
