On April 19, 2021, Brazil registered the highest moving average of deaths due to covid-19: about 3,000 deaths per day. Today (19), exactly 7 months after the peak, the Ministry of Health reports that mass vaccination against the disease had an effect. According to the folder, the drop in the number of deaths was almost 90% – a trend that has accumulated since June.
The bulletin released last night (18) shows that the moving average of deaths is 379.5, accompanied by a significant drop in the number of new cases of the disease, which is at 12,300 per day.
“We have a strong Unified Health System (SUS), with more than 38 thousand vaccination rooms, capable of vaccinating more than 2 million Brazilians and a government that is extremely concerned about life. Therefore, it acquired more than 550 million doses of vaccines [contra a] covid-19, invested billions in enabling intensive care unit (ICU) beds and vaccinated more than 90% of the Brazilian population with the first dose. Vaccine is the way to end the pandemic character of the disease. Only then are we going to return to our normal state”, stated in a statement the Minister of Health, Marcelo Queiroga.
According to Queiroga, the success of the broad vaccination campaign should extend to 2022 with the advance purchase of 354 million doses of vaccines approved in the country. The vaccination plan for 2022 was presented in early October.
“We already have more than 300 million doses guaranteed to vaccinate our population. It’s a vaccination a little different from what happened in 2021, because it’s not a primary vaccination. But the most important thing is: we will have vaccine doses for everyone”, declared Queiroga.
The Ministry of Health’s vaccination panel shows that more than 108 million Brazilians have fully complied with the vaccination schedule. This population corresponds to 68% of the target audience of the National Immunization Program (PNI) campaign. The tool also informs that 3.6 million people have already taken the booster dose, recommended for people over 60 years old, immunosuppressed (those whose normal defense mechanisms against infection are compromised) and health professionals.
