In all, 182,329,932 people received at least the first dose of a Covid vaccine in Brazil.
Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine, there are 172,271,660 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 84.87% of the population with the 1st dose and 80.19% of Brazilians with two doses or one dose of Janssen’s vaccine.
So far, 106,762,664 people have taken the third dose, and 37,989,522, the fourth.
The initiative by the consortium of press vehicles occurred in response to the actions of the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) government, which threatened to withhold data, delayed bulletins about the disease and withdrew information from the air, with the interruption of the disclosure of total cases and deaths.
