Available in the city since February 2023, the bivalent coronavirus vaccine has been applied to only 30,498 Anabolinos, according to the Municipal Health Secretariat (Simosa).
This figure represents only 8.36% of vaccination coverage, lower than the country average, which is also worrying, of 11.01%. In doing so, Goiás ranks only 14th in the ranking of federal units in Brazil.
According to the State Department of Health’s (SES) Health Surveillance Supervisory Authority (SES), Pfizer laboratory immunity protects an individual from the original strain of Covid-19, against omicron and its sub-variants.
According to the Goiás government, among the possible reasons for the low adherence is the population’s lack of interest in official, evidence-based information about the benefits of the immunization device.
They also pointed to the dissemination of false news (fake news) circulating on social networks and messaging applications related to the adverse effects of the vaccine.
However, health professionals continue to work against Covid-19 and many other diseases. Doses are available at all health units in Annapolis.
Currently, according to Smosa, all people 18 years of age or older can be vaccinated, and citizens over 12 years old who suffer from some comorbidities. In addition, it is necessary to receive at least two single doses four months apart from the last dose.
