Brazil exceeds 100 million doses of vaccine applied against Covid-19

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – According to official data from Vacinômetro – the Ministry of Health’s data tool that tracks the pace of vaccination against covid-19 in Brazil – the country surpassed today (30) the mark of 100 million doses applied.

According to the Vacinometer, the country registers 135,060,376 doses distributed to the states and the Federal District, with 101,476,804 doses applied. Of these, 74.3 million are related to the first dose, while 27.1 million correspond to the second or single dose (in the case of the Janssen vaccine).

According to the data panel, 2.2 million doses were applied in just 24 hours – a pace above Minister Marcelo Queiroga’s expectations.

The Ministry of Health’s data show that the Southeast region – the most populous in Brazil – had the most vaccinations, with 40.8 million doses applied. The Northeast is second, with 22.6 million doses. The South, Midwest, and North follow in their respective positions.

The most applied vaccine in Brazil is the Butantan Sinovac, which is equivalent to Coronavac. In second place is the AstraZeneca vaccine, bottled by Fiocruz and should become nationally manufactured by 2022. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is in third place. The Janssen vaccine is in fourth place since it has not yet had a large delivery volume and is restricted, at the moment, to specific groups.
