Hungary will begin vaccinating its critical infrastructure workers against coronavirus, the chief medical officer said on Wednesday. The next category to be inoculated will be people working in key sectors, including electricity distribution companies and public transport, Cecilia Muller told an online press briefing of the operative board responsible for handling the pandemic. With the virus spreading even more rapidly than before, the operative board and the national vaccination working group has decided to expand Hungary's vaccination drive to cover the employees of Budapest transport authority BKK, the Paks nuclear power plant, state-owned energy company MVM and railway companies MAV and GYSEV, Muller said.
