Bolsonaro releases R $ 2.5 billion to join the global vaccine program
Yesterday, President Jair Bolsonaro released about R $ 2.5 billion for Brazil to join the global vaccine program against Covid-19, called Covax Facility. The alliance is coordinated by the WHO (World Health Organization).
The release is contained in two provisional measures issued yesterday afternoon. The values disclosed are for the country to “buy the equivalent to guarantee the immunization of 10% of the population by the end of 2021, which allows it to serve populations considered priority,” says an extract from a statement published by the General Secretariat of Presidency of the Republic.
Adherence to the program will allow access to the portfolio of nine vaccines in development, in addition to others that are still under analysis. The global vaccination plan aims to ensure the purchase and distribution of doses of the Covid-19 vaccine fairly and worldwide.
Vehicles gather to obtain 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 recent attitudes from the authorities and the president himself question the availability of the data and its accuracy.
