Introduction:The new coronavirus pandemic has appreciably impacted on morbidity and mortality as well as having appreciable economic impact worldwide. New vaccines are a potential way forward to reduce transmission rates and their subsequent impact. In Brazil vaccines are being distributed via the public sector. In the future, vaccines will be available in the private market. Information about consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical vaccine against SARS CoV-2 can help future price setting discussions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with consumers in the five regions of Brazil regarding the willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical vaccine against SARS CoV-2 with a 50% efficacy. Results: A total of 1402 individuals over 18 years of age who declared not having COVID-19 at the time of the survey were interviewed. The acceptability for this hypothetical vaccine was 80.7%. In addition, the amount of WTP by Brazilian consumers for a hypothetical SARS CoV-2 vaccine was estimated at US$ 22.18(120.00 BRL). Conclusion: This study can contribute to decision-making to inform potential pricing for a hypothetical SARS CoV-2 vaccine.

Estratégias transdisciplinares possibilitam o desenvolvimento de atividades educativas colaborando para a construção de um saber comum. O objetivo deste artigo é compartilhar experiencias de integração entre ensino, pesquisa e extenção. Durante 2017-2019 foram realizadas atividades na busca pela integração do ensino formal com projetos de extensão e pesquisa, vinculados a Universidades, Vigilância Ambiental e de Endemias e Centro de Controle de Zoonoses. Foram desenvolvidas atividades como visitação domiciliar com orientações sobre combate e prevenção à endemias, feira de ciências com jogos, palestras e teatro. Os resultados beneficiaram discentes, profissionais, assim como a população atendida, contribuindo mutuamente para esta formação transdisciplinar.
