The Ministry of Health stated this Friday (27), in a note, that it responded to “all requests” for immunizations from the States in the last months of the year. “Vaccine stocks in the country are supplied.”
In November, at least 11 states and the Federal District reported a lack of some type of vaccine. Previously, in September, a survey by the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) showed that 64.7% of the 2,415 municipalities questioned reported a lack of vaccines.
At the time, faced with the survey data, the ministry said there was no shortage, but that it had faced “momentary challenges in the distribution of some vaccines due to problems with suppliers and limited global production”.
Days later, the ministry called a press conference in which it informed that it wanted to diversify vaccine suppliers to avoid gaps in the supply of vaccines in the country, and that it intended to create a platform to monitor stocks and monitor the distribution of doses throughout the country.
