The Brazilian government has already distributed more than 460 million Covid-19 vaccines in all of the country. To date, more than 150 million people have been fully vaccinated — 83% of the population over 12 years of age — and more than 90% have received the first dose.
Additionally, the government will now also allocate R$ 160 million to provide primary healthcare for those with post-Covid-19 symptoms — which are defined as new, recurrent or persistent clinical manifestations, not attributed to other causes, after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Through primary healthcare, it will be possible to diagnose and avoid complications and to provide adequately specialized treatment and hospital care when necessary. These resources will be distributed based on epidemiological need and degree of vulnerability throughout Brazil.
