Vaccination campaigns were advanced
The Ministry of Health opted for an advance in the vaccination calendars, which usually only occur in the period between April and May, due to the increase in the circulation of viruses that cause respiratory diseases, starting the campaigns, therefore, on March 25th, with the start even earlier, in municipalities where the doses arrived earlier.
The target audience
The Unified Health System (SUS) made children aged 6 months under 6 years a priority for immunization; indigenous children from 6 months to under 9 years old; healthcare workers; pregnant women; postpartum women; teachers; Indian people; elderly people over 60 years old; homeless people; professionals from security, rescue and armed forces forces; citizens with chronic non-communicable diseases and other clinical conditions; disabled people; truck drivers; public transport workers; port workers; employees of the deprivation of liberty system; people deprived of liberty, and young people between 12 and 21 who are under socio-educational measures.
