Vaccination
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Health released the timeline for 2023 of the National Vaccination Program, including covid-19. Actions begin on February 27, with the application of bivalent booster doses against the disease in the population at greater risk of developing severe forms of covid-19, such as the elderly over 60 years of age and people with disabilities.
It is also planned for April to intensify the vaccination campaign against influenza, before the arrival of winter, when lower temperatures lead to an increase in cases of respiratory diseases. In May, there should be a multi-vaccination action against polio and measles in schools.
The stages, according to the ministry, were organized according to existing dose stocks, new orders placed by the folder and delivery commitments made by vaccine manufacturers.
