“…To our knowledge, there is no contraindication for administering the COVID-19 vaccine to patients undergoing PEP, or for providing PEP to those receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. In Brazil, the use of well-established vaccines in the National Vaccine Program declined due to hesitancy associated with the COVID-19 vaccine 25 . Data on PEP acceptance in Brazil are limited, and the potential impact of vaccination hesitancy on patients requiring PEP for HR cannot be discounted.…”

Human Rabies (HR) is a fatal zoonotic disease caused by lyssaviruses, with the rabies virus (RABV) identified as the causative agent. While the incidence of HR transmitted by dogs has decreased in Latin America, there has been a corresponding rise in transmission via wild animals. Given the lack of effective treatments and specific therapies, the management of HR relies on the availability of post-exposure prophylaxis and animal control measures. This review examines the dynamics and spread of HR during the global pandemic.

“… 13 Previous studies in Brazil have indicated the association between political ideology and willingness to take the COVID-19, 9 , 14 negatively affecting the need for fast vaccination from the Brazilian population. 15 In the Brazilian case of the vaccination process, understanding the variables that influence confidence in the predisposition to take vaccines is fundamental. 16 Therefore, among these factors, political positioning 16–19 and characteristics of the available vaccines (country of origin, developing company, speed, lack of information, and efficacy) 16–18 stand out.…”

This study has the aim of assessing the Brazilian perceptions, influencing factors and political positioning on the confidence concerning COVID-19 vaccination. To achieve the objective, the methods rely on a cross-sectional survey of Brazilian citizens, distributed through different social networks. The sample is composed of 1,670 valid responses, collected from almost all Brazilian states and state capitals. To analyze the data and give a clear view of the variables’ relationship, the study used bivariate and comparative graphs. Results show a higher level of confidence in vaccines from Pfizer and AstraZeneca, while the lower level of confidence is associated with vaccines from Sinopharm and Sputinik5. Vaccine efficacy is the most significant influencing factor that helps in the decision to get vaccinated. Also, individuals are less willing to get vaccinated if their political preferences are related to the right-wing. The results led to three main health and social implications: i) the vaccination strategy campaigns should take in count vaccine efficacy and political aspects; ii) the vaccination process should be adapted to regions with different political positions; and iii) a reinforcement in the educational policies of the vaccine’s importance to the public health, to avoid the politization of a health issue.
