Survey: Majority of Hungarians happy with government vaccine strategy

Fully 72 percent of Hungarians are satisfied with the government’s coronavirus vaccine procurement strategy, a survey conducted by the Centre for Fundamental Rights released on Thursday shows.

The telephone survey of 1,000 adults conducted in late April indicates that 60 percent of respondents measured the government’s success in terms of the fact that three quarters of people who had registered to be vaccinated had received a jab at the time of the survey.

Only 6 percent regarded the European Union as being responsible for Hungary’s high vaccination rate, the think tank said.

Fully 20 percent thought the pace of vaccinations could be higher while 18 percent were unimpressed by the government’s vaccine-related measures.
