Most Hungarians Do Not Want to Receive the Vaccine

Stagnant health care and curfews are the most worrying for Hungarians about the coronavirus, yet, only a quarter of respondents would ask for the vaccine, and 40% would certainly not inject themselves, a new survey says.

80% of those surveyed fear a second wave of the virus because they only have enough financial reserves left for up to two months. A third of those surveyed were helped by the government’s economic rescue package to weather the first wave of economic hardship.

A recent research by the Pepita.hu online webshop it examined how much Hungarians fear the second wave of the coronavirus: two-thirds of the respondents are most afraid of stagnant health care and the closure of clinics. The curfew and the temporary closure of workplaces are of concern to nearly half of those surveyed for the time being. However, only a quarter of those surveyed would ask for the vaccine to be given, with 40% of respondents saying they would not have the vaccine injected, even if it were already available.
