Abstract: Due to social distancing guidelines and the displacement of both human and material resources to fight the covid-19 pandemic, individuals seeking healthcare services face certain challenges. Immunization programs have already been a worrisome topic for health authorities due to declines in vaccine uptake rates and are now especially affected by the covid-19 pandemic. Disbelief in science, dissemination of fake news about vaccines, socioeconomic vulnerability and social inequality are some of the challenges fac… Show more

“…National and international studies attributed a reduction of the population's demand for health services, with a consequent drop in vaccination coverage, to the restrictive mitigation measures adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic [1,5,21,22]. However, there has been an observed trend in a decline in vaccine doses applied in Brazil over the last two decades [22], especially those immunobiologicals recommended in early childhood [13,23].…”

“…National and international studies attributed a reduction of the population's demand for health services, with a consequent drop in vaccination coverage, to the restrictive mitigation measures adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic [1,5,21,22]. However, there has been an observed trend in a decline in vaccine doses applied in Brazil over the last two decades [22], especially those immunobiologicals recommended in early childhood [13,23]. Contextual and individual factors that have been cited in recent studies [15,22] have attributed the decline based on vaccination coverage including the lack of planning by the Brazilian National Universal Healthcare System (SUS), social and cultural aspects effecting vaccination acceptance, logistical di culties cited by the PNI in offering several routine vaccines as part of the national vaccine schedule, anti-vaccination movements, and inconsistencies in the availability of immunobiologicals offered by Primary Healthcare services.…”

“…However, due to limitations on the capacity of vaccine production and the global fluctuation in its distribution, it is well-known that several countries around the world have faced enormous challenges in trying to cope with new waves of COVID-19. This is the case experienced by Brazil, a developing country that has suffered from delays in negotiating early deals with pharmaceutical companies [4] and from the high social inequality present in the country [5]. As a consequence, the total number of new cases and deaths significantly increased in 2021, surpassing the worst scenario seen in the previous year [1].…”

“…Despite the critical situation to contain the ensuing epidemic and the resurgence of cases (especially with the emergence of new variants 12 ), Brazil had delays in starting the vaccination campaign, compared to other countries 13,14 , which took place on January 17, 2021. Even with a slight increase in the pace of vaccination in recent weeks, vaccination efforts remain far below what is required, with only 32.89% of the national population having received at least one dose by June 25, 2021. In turn, the second dose began to be administered on February 5th, and since then only 11.91% of the population has been immunised (https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations).…”
