The governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), invited all living former presidents of the Republic to be vaccinated against Covid-19 in SP at the beginning of the immunization campaign, scheduled for January 25. Former presidents Michel Temer, Dilma Rousseff, Lula, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Fernando Collor and José Sarney were sought.
By phone, the Palácio dos Bandeirantes press office confirmed the invitation and said that the idea “is to mark the event and promote vaccination.”
Former President Michel Temer (MDB) said he will participate in the act of initiation of vaccination, on January 25 in São Paulo.
Dilma Rousseff’s press office (PT) confirms that she received the invitation, made through the mayor of Araraquara, Edinho Silva (PT). “As she lives in Porto Alegre, the president does not intend to go to SP to receive the vaccine. However, if the governor João Doria sends the vaccine, she will take the medication,” the press office said.
Lula’s (PT) advisers said that the former president is scheduled to travel to Cuba and must return only in January, but that he must “receive the Butantan vaccine as soon as possible.”
On social media, Senator Fernando Collor (PROS) spoke and said that he would not participate in the event. “I appreciate the invitation made by the São Paulo government, but I will not participate in the event,” said the former president.

The state vaccination campaign against Covid-19 is scheduled to begin on January 25. The first group to receive the coronavirus vaccine includes health professionals, indigenous people and quilombolas from all over the state, as well as people over 60 years old, according to the plan released by the governor of SP.
According to the São Paulo government, 9 million people will be vaccinated in the first phase of the campaign in the state.
Produced by the Chinese laboratory Sinovac in association with the Butantan Institute, in São Paulo, the CoronaVac vaccine is still in the third phase of testing, and its effectiveness must be proven before, so that its use is disclosed by the National Surveillance Agency Sanitaria (Anvisa). . The São Paulo government’s forecast is that the registration request will be sent to the agency next week.
