Brazil recorded 325 deaths from Covid and 58,056 cases this Sunday (13).
The moving average of cases stood at 135,205 daily infections, down 27.59% compared to two weeks ago.
This reduction is observed for the second consecutive day. This Saturday (12), the moving average of infections stood at 136,138, a drop of 25.97% compared to the information of two weeks ago.
The number of deaths reached 880 deaths per day, still similar to the level of August 2021. In relation to the two-week data, the moving average of deaths increased by 62.96%.
The country has lost 638,449 lives and 27,483,031 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
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 Sunday, the information was updated in 15 states.
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 recorded 143,480 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Sunday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 52,800 first doses and 19,625 second doses. 456 single doses and 70,599 booster doses were also recorded.
In all, 169,180,966 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 147,833,553 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 152,516,096 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 78.75% of the population with the 1st dose and 70.99% of Brazilians with both doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine. Considering only the adult population, the values are, respectively, 104.58% and 94.28%.
Only 26.05% 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 27.38%.
Considering the entire population over 5 years old, 84.53% received one dose and 76.20% 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.
