Brazil launches nationwide multivacination campaign

Brazil is conducting a widespread Multivacination Campaign to update immunization records for children, adolescents, and adults. The initiative, supported by the Ministry of Health, aims to increase coverage for various diseases, including polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, yellow fever, HPV, and COVID-19.

In São Paulo, the campaign includes 20 different vaccines across 645 municipalities, with a ‘Dia D’ mobilization to facilitate access. Specific efforts are also targeting measles through the triple viral vaccine in several cities. In Cuiabá, 72 Family Health Units are participating in the mobilization.

Other regional actions include expanded dengue vaccination in Ubá for those aged 4 to 59, and localized campaigns in Nova Iguaçu, Rio Bonito, Guabiruba, and João Pessoa. Health authorities emphasize that while vaccines are a critical tool, they complement daily preventive measures against mosquito-borne diseases like dengue.
