ANVISA, Brazil s health regulatory agency, has yet to officially authorize the use of any Covid-19 vaccine in Brazil. The plan consists of four phases based on priority groups. The first three phases will constitute the vaccination of 49,650,255 people and should start in February, according to health authorities.
