During a meeting at the headquarters of the Pan American Health Organization in Brasília, the minister called for mobilization by states and municipalities countrywide.
Records from the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) indicate that former president Bolsonaro flew from São Paulo to Brasília the day before the alleged vaccination.
Brazil will purchase 5.2 million doses of Qdenga, which will allow up to 3 million individuals to be vaccinated (with two doses), starting in February.
The jab can be administered to people aged 12 and over. It is the sixth inoculation to receive definitive registration.
In 2019, Brazil lost its measles elimination certificate, primarily due to a decrease in demand for the vaccine against the disease, as stated by the minister.
