Hungarians to receive their Sputnik "glow"22 Jan 2021 13:49
Hungary will receive two million doses of Sputnik V, the vaccine against COVID-19 developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, which is enough to inoculate one million people, the country's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on Friday following the meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.
Szijjarto added the jab would be delivered to Hungary in three stages throughout the next three months. The first delivery is expected to contain 300,000 double doses.
Earlier in the day, Budapest and Moscow reached a deal over the supply of Sputnik V after Hungary became the first member of the European Union to approve it.
