For our part, vaccination, when it is ready, after being approved by the Ministry of Health and with scientific proof, and even so it has to be validated by Anvisa, we will offer it to Brazil, obviously free, but I repeat. : it will not be mandatory – he stated.
On Friday, Doria announced that, when available, the Covid-19 vaccine will be mandatory statewide and only people with a medical certificate can stop receiving the vaccine.
– In São Paulo vaccination will be mandatory, except for those who have medical advice and a medical certificate that they cannot be vaccinated. And we will take legal action if there is a setback in this regard – said Doria.
To a supporter who said that the vaccine was “being done on the thighs” and asked “who is going to get such a mess? Bolsonaro said that you need to have scientific evidence to be able to use it.
– Yes, there must be scientific proof, the country that offers this vaccine must first mass vaccinate yours, then offer it to other countries. So much is even in the military area: you can only sell a war product to another country after using it on its territory and, in a proven way, demonstrate its effectiveness – he said.
