247 – The Ministry of Health announced on Friday (27) that the vaccine against Covid-19 that is approved should not be offered to the entire population next year.

According to the folder headed by General Eduardo Pazuello, only the groups with the highest risk of exposure and complications of the disease will have access to the immunizer.

“The sequence of vaccination will depend on the availability of the vaccine at scale for the country”, said at a press conference Elcio Franco, executive secretary of the Ministry of Health. The “scale” implies the quantity of doses and the timing of acquisition and the consequent availability of these.

Franco added that the definition of priority audiences will be made by the government based on two types of information. The first involves those segments with the highest risk of evolving to a serious condition, the so-called risk groups. Older people with comorbidities are found in this universe.

The second type of information refers to the vaccine itself that will be used. “On the other hand, the pharmacological aspect with the vaccine leaflet. We will identify the audiences to which it will offer safety and efficacy. Comparing the data, we will define the priority audiences for the vaccine ”, said the executive secretary.

The government of Jair Bolsonaro is waging a war against the Coronavac vaccine, developed by the Chinese laboratory Sinovac. In Brazil, it is being tested by the Butantan Institute, a government agency in São Paulo, subordinate to Governor João Doria, Bolsonaro’s political opponent.

Doria has accused the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) of harming the development of the Chinese vaccine by Butantan for political reasons and says it will apply it without federal authorization.
