Three Brazilian airports will have vaccination posts against covid-19
The Ministry of Health informed, this Thursday (9), that the airports of Brasília, Guarulhos, in São Paulo, and Galeão, in Rio de Janeiro, will have vaccination posts against covid-19. Services start operating next Monday (13).
The announcement was made on the same day that the new rules for the entry of travelers into the country were published. The interministerial ordinance establishes the requirement of a quarantine of five days for non-vaccinated people who want to enter Brazil.
According to the executive secretary of the folder, Rodrigo Cruz, the airports in Brasília, Guarulhos and Galeão are the ones that account for the largest volume of international passengers. The idea is for the vaccination post to be in operation, especially during peak hours at the terminals.
“[It is] so that, if a passenger who is interested in getting immunized arrives, that the vaccine is available for him there,” said Cruz, noting that, even so, the newly immunized traveler would have to comply with the quarantine of five days before it could circulate in the country.
Cruz added that health authorities monitor the current epidemiological scenario and that, if the pandemic scenario worsens, the issue will be discussed again in 30 days.
