Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes announced on Twitter that the city will suspend its Covid-19 vaccination campaign on February 16. Mr. Paes mentioned a lack of vaccine jabs as the reason behind his decision and plans to resume inoculations on February 22, when a new shipment of CoronaVac jabs is expected to arrive.
“We are ready and have already vaccinated 244,852 people. The only thing we need is for the vaccine to arrive,” wrote Mr. Paes.
The Rio de Janeiro City Hall says, however, that the second dose of the vaccine is guaranteed for those who took the first one already.
