In Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, children aged 0‑4 accounted for the bulk of respiratory‑virus cases reported in week 27, with 75 confirmed infections. Health officials recorded 369 samples, of which 227 were positive, yielding a 61.5 % positivity rate.

Porto Velho, Rondônia, is concluding its influenza‑vaccination campaign on 30 July, with no extension. The vaccine is offered free of charge to everyone aged six months and older, and local officials, including Mayor Léo Moraes and health secretary Sandra Cardoso, urged residents to receive the shot before the deadline.
In Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, a new vaccination point opened on the first floor of Shopping Del Rey, providing free triple‑viral (MMR) vaccine for people 12 months to 59 years old and free influenza vaccine for anyone six months of age and up. The service runs until the end of the month, expanding access to essential immunisations for the region.
