The National Immunization Day is commemorated on June 9.
A trace data “much or what to eat”, but also some concerns, especially with the remainder of the vaccine coverage in Brazil.
This is the evaluation of the director of the Brazilian Immunization Society (SBIm) Juarez Cunha.
TO CNN RadioHe affirmed that the distrust of people goes through a series of factors, such as lack of vaccines in posts, hours of attendance for immunization and lack of perception of risk.
“We have to recover the confidence that we had 30, 40 years ago, coming from the confidence of the institutions, our governors and healthcare professionals”, he said.
The specialist defends that all these actors, during the Covid-19 pandemic, are somewhat politicized to the detriment of what science advocates.
“We still haven’t been able to reverse it, we have to recover that value, the Brazilian never asked where the vaccine was from, what technology, and it was still immunized.”
For Juarez, I need information, both for professionals and for society; and communication, with disclosure and publicity pieces.
“We have safe, effective and free vaccines, we have to take our children to be vaccinated, and all the age faixas too”, he completed.
At the same time, he reinforces that “the value of vaccines is impressive, with the eradication of diseases, as well as the elimination and control of many others.”
“We have a marvelous calendar, which especially protects the children, who are the most vulnerable”, he reinforced.
