As of this Monday (5), the entire population of 14 states plus the Federal District will have access to the flu vaccine. With the end of the vaccination campaign for the priority groups (elderly, children, pregnant women, health workers, among others), other groups will have access to immunization until the end of the stocks in these states.

The states that have already confirmed the release were Acre, Amazonas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima, Santa Catarina, Sergipe and Maranhão, as well as the Federal District .

The states of Alagoas, Amapá, Ceará, Pernambuco and São Paulo will not release the vaccine through the Unified Health System.

In 7 other states, there is still no release definition:

Piauí: The state health department said the release did not start on Monday, because on that date a meeting would be held to define the details. The Municipal Health Foundation of Teresina confirmed the beginning of vaccination for second.

Paraná: According to the Health Department, "the expansion of the offer of influenza vaccine to other groups will depend on the technical analysis of the infectious disease commission," in agreement with the municipalities.

Rio Grande do Norte: The State Secretariat of Public Health of Rio Grande do Norte (Sesap) said that there will be a meeting next Monday to decide what measures will be taken.

Tocantins: The State Department of Health said it has not yet received the technical standard on the release and will only decide whether it will be able to join the determination on Monday.

Minas Gerais: the State Department of Health (SES) reported that, to date, it has no position on the expansion of vaccination in the state. The agency also said that there should be a definition in the second.

Paraíba: According to the State Health Department, the expansion depends on a technical analysis that will be carried out in partnership with the municipalities. 

Rondônia: The State Health Department says it is still going to analyze the issue, but should define it later this Monday.

Stocks out of stock

On Friday (2), the Ministry of Health announced the release for all age groups this Monday, while stocks last. According to the agency, the measure is only valid this year.

According to the ministry, each state health department will have autonomy to define whether to release vaccination for all age groups.

"This year, we had few cases due to influenza due to the low circulation of the virus. As a result, the target public sought fewer health posts. However, there are still 10 million doses of an amount of 60 million acquired. So that there is no waste, since these vaccines are only valid for a year, we decided to extend to all age groups, while stocks last, "said Health Minister Ricardo Barros.
