Brazil Covid-19 vaccination fine amnesty proposal

Overview

In the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, Bill 1978/26 has been proposed to grant amnesty for fines levied against parents and guardians who did not vaccinate their children against Covid-19.

Proposed by Deputy Julia Zanatta, the legislation seeks to forgive financial penalties issued between the WHO pandemic declaration on March 11, 2020, and the date of the law’s publication. The proposal includes the cancellation of active debt registrations and tax executions. The author contends that these sanctions divert essential resources away from food, health, and education.

These fines originate from a 2025 Superior Court of Justice decision, which allowed penalties ranging from 3 to 20 minimum wages for parents refusing to vaccinate children without medical justification, a ruling consistent with the Supreme Federal Court’s stance on mandatory vaccination for the National Immunization Program.
