Jarbas Barbosa, director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), said this Saturday (22) that the Covid-19 pandemic affected the vaccination of other immunizers, mainly due to the speeches anti-vaccine, which gained strength in this period.
PAHO issued a statement warning that one in four children was not vaccinated in 2021, the highest rate in 30 years.
′′ These numbers were greatly aggravated in the pandemic. She unfortunately amplified the rumors by spreading lies about the effectiveness of vaccines. The vaccine is one of the products that undergo the most rigorous safety certification criteria before being used in the population. And after application, there is still monitoring of effectiveness. Now with all this flood of lies, it affects families’ confidence in other vaccines,” she said.
