SP fears confusion if only São Paulo residents receive the vaccine
The expectation of the São Paulo government is that CoronaVac will be the first vaccine against covid-19 to be ready and, from what has been negotiated so far, it would be available only to residents of the state. The situation raises concern about possible social unrest, such as a large contingent of inhabitants from other states who travel to cities in São Paulo in search of the immunizing agent.
In addition to not having doses for everyone -So Paulo signed a contract for 46 million units and the vaccine must be administered in two doses-, the situation still does not respect the public nature of the SUS (Unified Health System), which preaches equity and democracy in access to treatment.
THE Twitter I heard from two São Paulo government officials that these factors became worrisome because, last week, the federal government announced, but later canceled the inclusion of CoronaVac in the PNI (National Immunization Program), which would guarantee the distribution of doses to the whole country. .
Vehicles gather for information
In response to the decision of the government of Jair Bolsonaro to restrict access to data on the covid-19 pandemic, media Twitter, El Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo, G1 and Extra formed a consortium to work collaboratively to seek the necessary information directly from the state health departments of the 27 units of the Federation.
The federal government, through the Ministry of Health, should be the natural source of these figures, but the attitudes of the authorities and the president himself during the pandemic cast doubt on the availability of the data and its veracity.
