The majority of the deaths were 115, and the number of deaths rose to 39,009. The number of people cured is constantly increasing, currently 1,097,628 people and the number of active infected people has decreased to 113,057 people. There are 3,854 coronavirus patients in hospital, 357 of whom are on ventilators. The omicron virus variant is spreading in Hungary as well, 68 cases of omicron have been confirmed in Hungary so far, so we ask those who have not been vaccinated to take the vaccine and those who have been vaccinated for more than four months to take the booster. Vaccinations are also available during the holidays by appointment.
It is still possible to take the vaccine as soon as possible. At the priority hospital vaccination points, it is also possible to have a first or confirmatory vaccination during the holidays by prior appointment.

In view of the success of the previous vaccination campaigns and the appearance of the omicron virus variant in Hungary, there will be several vaccination campaigns in January at the hospital vaccination points and in the specialist clinics of the district headquarters, when vaccination can be requested again without prior appointment and on-site registration. In addition, the National Vaccination Working Group also urges GPs to hold specific vaccination action days in addition to vaccinations ordered at the time of ordering.
Vaccinations are scheduled to take place every Thursday and Friday afternoon and Saturday in January at hospital checkpoints and district clinics at checkpoints.
Vaccination campaign at hospital and district vaccination points:
- January 6-7, 2022 (Thursday-Friday) 2 pm-6pm
- January 8, 2022 (Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

GPs will continue to vaccinate at the time of ordering and are also asked to vaccinate at least one Friday afternoon and Saturday without prior appointment. Of course, if your GP agrees, you can have not only one, but up to four vaccinations. For general practitioners, the national chief physician officially orders vaccination action days, so he is entitled to a separate reimbursement for Saturday vaccination action days.
Registration and appointment booking for children aged 5-11 is also open at all times. The appointment can be entered by parents who have registered their child with complete data in the last few days and have already validated their registration. The parent can also tell their home pediatrician if they want to have their child vaccinated. All children 5 to 11 years of age can be vaccinated if requested by a parent and there is no contraindication to vaccination. Vaccination is contraindicated in acute febrile illness. The second vaccination in children is also due 3 weeks after the first vaccination. In addition to hospital vaccination points, home pediatricians who require the vaccine are also vaccinated.

In addition to healthcare facilities and public transportation, masks must continue to be worn in shops, shopping malls, post offices, customer service, theaters, cinemas, museums and sporting events. At indoor cultural and other events, gyms, swimming pools, spas, and catering shops, employees must wear a mask.
To increase vaccination, employers may require their employees to be vaccinated. Vaccination is expected in the public sector, and mayors can decide on it. Companies that require their employees to be vaccinated can also request a vaccine from county vaccination teams, in which case occupational physicians can also have the vaccine.
