Brasilia, May 1 : All Brazilians can be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of the year, Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga has said.
"We have enough doses for the second half (of the year) and it is possible to guarantee that by the end of 2021 our entire population will be vaccinated," Queiroga said on Friday during a press conference held jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO), Xinhua reported.
Brazil expects to have 500 million vaccine doses available by the year end, said Queiroga. Nevertheless, he again called on countries with surplus doses to donate them to Brazil.
