Coronavirus - Orban: Vaccination saves lives

Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday called on Hungarians to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, adding that it is a matter of individual responsibility and protection, and that vaccination saves lives. Orban noted a "misleading notion" that once 60-70 percent of Hungarians get vaccinated, the rest will not need the vaccine. "Nobody can get away" from the virus, he said, adding that only vaccination could give individuals protection and he described it as a life-saver. He said the next six weeks will be decisive in the epidemic, adding that Hungary could double the number of people inoculated and it will therefore "rise above the surface" by the end of May or early June.
