Government pays Te Vacina RS winning municipalities this Wednesday – DIFUSORA 890 am

On Wednesday, the state government paid R$625,000 to the winners of the first stage of the Te Vacina RS Prize, which seeks to recognize and appreciate the most vaccinated municipalities against Covid-19 in Rio Grande do Sul.

The calculation took into account the vaccines applied for doses divided into four classes. There are two phases, one announced on July 20 and the other scheduled on August 20. For the second, doses recorded until 24:00 on August 17 will be considered.

The decree establishing the award specifies that the application of the resources must be in primary health care procedures, and that the municipalities included in an administrative report must be responsible. Payment was made through the state health fund to municipal health funds.

Account criteria

The results were calculated from the total number of doses applied and recorded in the SI-PNI information system divided by the number of doses distributed in the Strategic Health Input System (Sies), with no excluded amounts of doses. Available for application. For example, if the municipality receives 100 doses and applies 80 doses, the vaccination coverage will be 80%.

In the event of break-even, the criterion for breaking the tie is the second recorded dose rates. If the tie continues, the municipality with the lowest coverage in primary health care is considered the winner.
