Brazil’s Health Ministry has announced its Covid vaccination schedule for 2023, which includes the use of Pfizer’s bivalent boosters as early as February 27.
The bivalent immunizer provides protection against the original coronavirus strain as well as Omicron subvariants, being designed as a single-dose booster.
Provided they have already received at least two doses of Covid vaccines, citizens over the age of 70, immunosuppressed individuals, and members of indigenous, riverine, or quilombo communities will be the first to receive the bivalent shots, starting at the end of next month.
The next groups to receive boosters will be, in order, people between the ages of 60 and 69, pregnant and postpartum women, and healthcare workers.
The goal is to vaccinate 90 percent of these groups before offering the jabs to the broader public.
