BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungary could receive the first shipment of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine next week, Surgeon General Cecilia Muller told an online briefing on Thursday.
Muller said Hungary would receive 1.7 million doses of the vaccine altogether under a European Union purchase agreement, enabling the central European country to inoculate 872,000 people.
