Brazil recorded 2,532 cases and reached 30,002,348 infected people since the beginning of the pandemic. The country also had 112 recorded deaths and, with that, adds up to 660,381 lives lost.
On weekends, holidays and Mondays, the pandemic data are usually lower, due to notification delays in the health secretariats.
Moving averages of deaths and cases continue to decline from two weeks ago. The average number of deaths now stands at 196 per day, a reduction of 36%, and that of infections is 21,782 per day, a drop of 39%.
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 publish 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 1,096,158 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Monday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 88,617 first doses and 246,251 second doses. 2,636 single doses and 758,654 booster doses were also recorded.
Amazonas recorded -150 single doses.
Bahia had a negative record of first doses (-12,001) and second doses (-8,692).
In all, 175,981,756 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil — 156,465,506 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 161,194,339 people with both doses or with one dose of Janssen vaccine.
Thus, the country already has 81.92% of the population with the 1st dose and 75.03% of Brazilians with both doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine.
So far, 78,934,152 people have already taken a booster dose, which represents 36.74% 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 53.05%, totaling 10,876,164. In the same age group, 17.40% (3,567,609) 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.
