“…Being at the most subordinate vertex of this articulation and serving as a reserve of raw material for global capitalism, Brazil became vulnerable to any external geopolitical and economic instability [38], putting at risk the maintenance and expansion of the network of social protection policies, among which, public health policies such as the PNI. This vulnerability can be exemplified by the global crisis of 2008, which had repercussions in Brazil in 2014.…”

“…Added to this is the way Brazil has inserted itself into the international system since the 2000s, when financialized capitalism began to operate according to a triangular articulation, which concentrated, in different parts of the world, the consumer countries, the producers of manufactured goods and the producers of commodities [ 38 ]. This articulation brought important demands for countries that sought to increase income and jobs, in a context of solid and accelerated growth.…”

Background: Public health policies are crossed by economic and political interests that can affect the maintenance of the immunization programs and their vaccination coverages. The aim was to investigate the political and economic conditions that marked the trajectory of the Brazilian immunization program from 1980 to 2018. Methods: Documentary research gathered data on public expenditures with epidemiological surveillance and vaccine procurement and nationwide estimates of vaccine coverage. The scientific literature on the program’s implementation and the country’s political and economic conditions was examined. The theoretical approach was based on historical institutionalism. Results: The results showed rising, high rates maintaining and falling vaccination coverages in the period. As of 2010, there was a tendency for a reduction in total federal spending on epidemiological surveillance, putting pressure on the budgets of the sub-national governments in their respective areas of coverage, and on federal spending in dollars for the acquisition of immunobiologicals and inputs. Conclusions: The amplitude and complexity of the program’s trajectory have been crossed by diverse dynamics conditioned by economic and political interests reflecting at a deeper level the advance of capitalism through fiscal austerity measures over democracy’s aspirations for greater balance and justice in the distribution of resources.
