Fully 462,000 people have registered for the vaccine on the website vakcinainfo.gov.hu while 136,000 have sent in a registration form by mail, Dömötör said.

Because vaccination against Covid-19 is voluntary, it was crucial, he said, that the authorities know who wants to be inoculated.

Mass vaccinations against the virus will be carried out under a vaccination plan, he noted, encouraging the public to register for the shot.
