Brazil recorded 88 deaths from Covid and 18,758 cases of the disease, this Saturday (9). With this, the country reaches 661,270 deaths and 30,141,470 registered cases of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Moving averages of deaths and cases remain down from two weeks ago. Now, there are eight days of the moving average below 200, with 154, a reduction of 35% compared to the last 15 days, and that of infections is 20,833, a drop of 31%.
The statistical feature that seeks to smooth out variations in data, such as those that usually happen on weekends and holidays, is calculated by adding the deaths in the last seven days and dividing the result by seven.
The country data, collected up to 8 pm, are the result of collaboration between SheetUOL, 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, also collected by the consortium, were updated in 21 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 registered 255,237 doses of vaccines against Covid-19 this Saturday. According to data from the state health departments, there were 26,102 first doses, 76,136 second doses and 173,036 booster doses.
Single doses had a correction and, therefore, 20,037 fewer doses were recorded this Saturday.
In all, 176,165,098 people received at least the first dose of a vaccine against Covid in Brazil. There are already 161,986,130 people with two doses or one dose of the Janssen vaccine. As for booster doses, 81,171,748 were applied.
Thus, the country already has 84.2% of the population with the 1st dose and 75.4% of Brazilians with two doses or with one dose of the Janssen vaccine, and 29.81% of the population with vaccine booster.
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 53.98% (11,065,805 doses applied). In the same age group, 19.52% (4,001,598) received the second dose.
Considering the entire population over 5 years, 88% received one dose and 80.93% 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.
