The Ministry of Health reinforced the importance of completing the Vaccination cycle against Covid-19. According to the folder, those with late doses can go to a post at any time, with the vaccination card.
Last month, the federal government launched the National Movement for Vaccination, a campaign that aims to resume the high rate of vaccination coverage in the country.
In the first stage, the bivalent dose of the immunizer will be applied, aimed at the priority group of elderly people over 70 years old, people with immunosuppression, indigenous peoples and quilombolas.
However, citizens who have not yet completed the primary vaccination cycle, with two doses, or who have not received the third and fourth booster doses, can also look for health units to be immunized. This group is vaccinated with a monovalent vaccine.
According to the ministry, complete immunization is essential to maintain immunological memory against Covid-19.
According to a study carried out by Fiocruz (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz) with 1,500 people, after six months of immunization with the second dose, the antibodies dropped among those surveyed. With reinforcement in immunization, there was a considerable increase in protection against the coronavirus.
Bivalent vaccine
To take the bivalent vaccine against Covid-19, which prevents the most dangerous variants of the virus, it is necessary to have completed the vaccination cycle of four doses, respecting a four-month interval since the last one received.
In March, the government intends to expand the bivalent dose to the entire population over 12 years of age.
