Hungary in talks to plug expected shortfall in COVID-19 vaccine deliveries

Hungary's government is in talks with all possible suppliers to make up for an expected shortfall of half a million vaccine doses, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff Gergely Gulyas said on Thursday.

"Inoculations require vaccines and we know that another one of the shots ordered by Brussels will be missing, the Janssen vaccines will not arrive. That means half a million fewer shots," Gulyas told an online briefing.
