Backdrop to the development of Brazil’s national COVID-19 immunization plan

Abstract

The process of developing Brazil’s COVID-19 immunization plan began belatedly and involved a number of experts, including a technical group responsible for defining priority groups for vaccination. This process was permeated by contradictions between the government and researchers. Finally, on 20 January 2021, the government published an updated version of the plan, which remains limited in scope.

Key words:
Coronavirus infections; Immunization; Brazil
