Hungary could get Chinese vaccine for testing
According to a video message posted on social media by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade state secretary Tamás Menczer, Hungary could get samples of a COVID-19 vaccine from a Chinese producer for testing.
Getting the samples would be "a leap forward" as it would allow a potential coronavirus vaccine to be examined by Hungarian experts, Menczer said.
He added that talks are ongoing with three vaccine makers in China, as well as ones in Russia and Israel.
