According to the coordinator of the São Paulo State Immunization Plan, Regiane de Paula, São Paulo will apply as a third dose any of the immunization agents approved by Anvisa in Brazil and available at UBSs (Basic Health Units) and AMAs (Medical Care Outpatient), including Coronavac, which was not on the Ministry of Health’s schedule to be used as a backup.
