All Brazilian states received doses of vaccines produced by the Butantan Institute in association with the China Sinovac laboratory and have already started vaccination against covid-19.
The Ministry of Health defined a series of criteria to prioritize and divide the groups most vulnerable to the contagion of the coronavirus. But the states have the autonomy to distribute the vaccines and define their priorities, based on the recommendations of the portfolio. In Maranhão, for example, homeless people were included in the first phase.
Generally speaking, due to vaccine shortages, governments are currently vaccinating only older people living in nursing homes, indigenous people living in villages, and health professionals working on the coronavirus front.
There is no estimate of when the vaccination will be extended to other groups, such as older people who do not live in nursing homes and people with comorbidities, such as diabetes and heart disease. This can take weeks or months, depending on the vaccine stock. Today there are only 6 million doses available and authorized for use in the country, thousands of which have already been applied.
