The race for the coronavirus vaccine also began in Santa Catarina. And the state government persecuted him. The municipalities, through the federation that represents them, Fecam, took the first step with the protocol of intentions for access to medicines produced by the Butantan Institute in association with the Chinese manufacturer Sinovac.

In practice, there are still many doubts about how the vaccination will work when the drugs are ready and launched by Anvisa. There are no details on numbers and other more specific terms. But the protocol of intentions puts pressure on the Santa Catarina government, which maintains the discourse of waiting for the federal government and its national immunization plan.
However, with the delay of the Ministry of Health, Governor Carlos Moisés da Silva will have to make decisions. Fecam played a role and is now waiting for the next steps. Naturally, with news from the UK and other countries starting vaccination, the population of Santa Catarina will charge for the vaccination.
The mayors anticipated the pressure to come and presented an option. Even if it didn’t work, it was a sign that he was entering the race for the vaccine. The state government, internally, did not react well to the Fecam signal and expected a joint action coordinated by the federal government. Regardless of the decisions made so far, what is required is that the vaccine reaches people in an organized and safe way.
