Brazil recorded 86 deaths from Covid and 10,709 cases of the disease, this Monday (28). With this, the country reached 659,012 lives lost and 29,849,877 people infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the beginning of the pandemic.
On weekends, Mondays and holidays, the pandemic data are usually lower because of notification delays in the health secretariats.
Moving averages of deaths and cases are down from two weeks ago. The average number of deaths is now 234 per day, a reduction of 40%, and that of infections is 29,668, a reduction of 28%.
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 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.
Regarding vaccination, Brazil recorded 623,761 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Monday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 162,973 second doses. 518,727 booster shots were also recorded.
The first doses and single doses had negative cases, respectively -47,307 and -10,632.
Bahia, Roraima and Santa Catarina had negative records of first doses, respectively, -49,018, -3,029 and -65,875.
Ceará, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Roraima and Santa Catarina had negative records of single doses, respectively -7,105, -3, -5, -403 and -14,168.
The second doses from Santa Catarina were also negative, with -3,621.
In all, 175,407,232 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 155,324,470 of them have already received the second dose of the immunizer. Added to the single doses of Janssen’s Covid vaccine, there are already 160,074,934 people with both doses or one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 81.65% of the population with the 1st dose and 74.51% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
So far, 75,691,488 people have already taken a booster dose, which represents 35.23% of the Brazilian population.
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 51.02%, totaling 10,459,544. In the same age group, 13.57% (2,782,760) received the second dose or the single dose.
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 23 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.
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.
