Brazil recorded 276 deaths from Covid this Thursday (28) and reached 678,147 lives lost since the beginning of the pandemic. 45,307 cases of the disease were also recorded, bringing the total number of infections to 33,752,376.
The moving average of cases reached 35,156 a day, down 40% from two weeks ago. The average number of deaths remains stable (no variation of more than 15% compared to the two weeks before) and now stands at 228 per day.
The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between Sheet, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and publish figures related to the coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
In all, 179,796,736 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 168,955,056 people with both doses or with a dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 83.69% of the population with the 1st dose and 78.65% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
To date, 100,616,607 people have taken the third dose and 21,796,862 the fourth.
The consortium also gathers the record of vaccine doses administered to children. The population aged 5 to 11 years partially immunized (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 64.91%, totaling 13,305,965. In the same age group, 41.30% (8,467,579) received the second dose or the single dose (the number of children immunized with both doses fell compared to Tuesday’s data).
Even those who received both doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine should maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, say experts.
The initiative of the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed newsletters about the disease and took information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of the totals of cases and deaths. In addition, the government has released conflicting data.
