Downtown Budapest District Offers Reward to Needy for Inoculation
Budapest’s Eighth District will pay Ft 10,000 to those residents in need who are inoculated with both doses of vaccine (only one for Janssen) before December 31, an unscheduled meeting of the local council decided on Thursday.

Several conditions were set: the monthly income per person in the affected person’s family must not exceed Ft 71,250, every adult in the applicant’s family must be inoculated (unless they have a medical certificate stating that they may not be inoculated).

The deadline for submitting applications for the subsidy will be January 15, 2022 but the applications may be submitted from Friday, when the decree goes into effect.

A further five prizes of Ft 150,000 will be awarded by lottery among those applicants who receive the inoculations after the decree goes into effect.
