Brazil reached 65.9 million people with booster vaccines against covid-19 this Saturday, 5, which represents only 30.7% of the population. Booster vaccination is defended by experts as necessary at this time, with transmission still considered high for the coronavirus. It began to be applied in the country in November.
The daily data for Brazil are from the consortium of press vehicles formed by Estadão, G1, O Globo, Extra, Folha and UOL, together with the Health Departments of the 26 States and the Federal District, in a balance sheet released at 8 pm.
According to the balance sheet, the country has 172.9 million people with the first dose (80.5% of the population) and 155.7 million with the second dose or the single-dose immunizer (72.4%). In 24 hours, 378,400 new doses were applied, of which 227,900 were boosters. In the last 24 hours, there were no updates in seven federative units (Ceará, Goiás, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rondônia and Tocantins).
About a month and a half after the start of the campaign for the age group, the number of children aged 5 to 11 years vaccinated with one dose is at 9.6 million, that is, 46.9% of the target audience. Of the total, 286,500 also took the second dose. Data compiled by Estadão show that childhood immunization is advancing at a slow pace.
