Hungary has said it will offer a fourth coronavirus vaccine dose to citizens, after a consultation with a doctor amid a rapid rise in Covid-19 infection cases, reports AFP.

Denmark is the first EU country to offer a fourth dose to citizens.

“Anyone can get a fourth coronavirus jab based on a consultation with a doctor,” said Gergely Gulyas, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff.

“The [government] decree about this will be published this week,” Gulyas told a press briefing in Budapest.
