Brazil recorded 922 deaths from Covid and 165,359 cases of the disease, this Thursday (10). As a result, the country has lost 636,111 lives and 27,125,512 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The moving average of deaths continues to grow and now stands at 874 deaths per day, an increase of 85% compared to two weeks ago.
In turn, the moving average of cases now stands at 146,540, down 20% also from the data of two weeks ago.
The 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 disclose the numbers related to the new coronavirus pandemic. The information is collected by the consortium of press vehicles daily with the state Health Departments.
Vaccination data against Covid-19 was affected by the hacker attack on the Ministry of Health system, which took place in December, which led to the lack of updates in several states for long periods of time. This Friday, the information was updated in 24 states and the Federal District.
The consortium of press vehicles recently updated the Brazilian population numbers used to calculate the percentage of people vaccinated in the country. Now, the data used are the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) projection for 2022. All numbers are now calculated according to these values, including last year’s. Therefore, the percentages of people vaccinated may differ from the previously published figures.
Brazil registered 1,743,815 doses of vaccines against Covid-19, this Thursday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 447,785 first doses and 393,116 second doses. 944,624 booster shots were also recorded.
There was a negative record (-41,710) of single doses. This occurred because of the records of Paraíba, which indicated -45,205 doses. Minas Gerais also corrected the number of single doses (-1).
In all, 168,105,159 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 147,333,868 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizer. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s vaccine against Covid, there are already 152,012,601 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 78.25% of the population with the 1st dose and 70.76% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 103.91% and 93.97%.
Only 25.33% of the population has taken a booster dose so far.
The consortium also started recording the doses of vaccines given to children. The population aged 5 to 11 years partially immunized (with only the first dose of vaccine received) is 23.31%.
Considering the entire population over 5 years old, 83.99% received one dose and 75.95% received two doses or Janssen’s single dose vaccine.
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.
