São Paulo reached, this Friday (17), in theory, 100.01% of the adult population with the primary scheme of the complete Covid vaccine, that is, receiving two doses of an immunizing agent or a single dose vaccine, according to data of the press vehicles consortium.
The number is an estimate, so this does not mean that all adults in the state are up to date with their Covid vaccine doses.
The population of SP used for the calculation is a projection by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), according to which the state has more than 46.8 million inhabitants. Almost 78% of the population of São Paulo is 18 years old or more.
In the state, so far, 38,216,336 people have taken the first dose and 35,114,260 are with the primary vaccination course against Covid complete.
São Paulo is the first state in which the estimate is reached.
In addition, the state has already applied 7,934,952 booster doses against Covid, representing 17.01% of the total population of SP. Only Mato Grosso do Sul applied the reinforcement to a greater percentage of its population, 19.94%.
Meanwhile, Brazil registered 126 deaths by Covid and 4,118 cases of the disease, this Friday (17). The country, therefore, has a moving average of 131 deaths per day, the lowest since April 14, 2020, when it was 123.
Five states have not released updated data on deaths and cases. The hacker attack on the Ministry of Health’s system has been causing problems since last Friday (10), in records from several states. With that, moving average data also end up impacted.
With this Friday’s data, Brazil reached 617,647 lives lost and 22,207,358 people infected by Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between leaf, UOL, O Estado de S. Paulo, Extra, O Globo and G1 to gather and disseminate the numbers related to the pandemic of the new coronavirus. The information is collected daily by the consortium of press vehicles with the state Health Departments.
Data on vaccination against Covid-19 are among those affected, in several states, by the attack on the ministry’s website. In any case, the information was at least partially updated in 13 states and the Federal District.
Brazil registered 695,377 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Friday. According to data from the state departments of Health, there were 32,771 first doses, 237,903 second doses. In addition, 1,830 single doses and 422,873 booster doses were recorded.
There was a review of single doses in the Federal District (-151) and in Mato Grosso do Sul (-17). In Maranhão there was a review of first doses (-20,656).
In all, 160,555,061 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil —136,735,163 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizing agent. Added to the single doses of the Janssen vaccine against Covid, there are already 141,322,921 people with two doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 75.27% of the population with the 1st dose and 66.25% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 99.05% and 87.19%.
Even those who received two doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine must maintain basic care, such as wearing a mask and social distance, experts say.
The initiative of the consortium of press vehicles took place in response to the attitudes of the Jair Bolsonaro (non-party) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed bulletins about the disease and took information off the air, with the interruption of the dissemination of total cases and deaths. In addition, the government released conflicting data.
