In a country like Brazil, with continental dimensions and a population of 215 million inhabitants, protecting so many people and eradicating or controlling diseases is a huge challenge. After the approval of the first coronavirus vaccine by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) 549 million doses were distributed to all federative units. Proper communication with the population, informing the real benefits of the vaccine, its limitations and the importance of individual and collective protection is still a great challenge to be faced and trust in vaccines needs to be maintained at any cost, under penalty of putting at risk all achievements achieved in control and elimination and diseases worldwide. Strong coordination must be established between researchers, regulators, policymakers, funders, public health agencies and government, in order to ensure that vaccines continue to be opened in our country and provided to the entire population.
