In Brazil, South America, where the number of people who died from infection with the new coronavirus is the second highest in the world, the third vaccination has started, and the Brazilian government has taken measures against the mutant virus "Delta strain" that spreads in the country. I'm in a hurry.
As the infection of the highly infectious new coronavirus mutant virus "Delta strain" spreads in Brazil, the Brazilian government has decided to give a third vaccination to those who have completed two vaccinations. On the 6th, inoculation began in the most populous state of São Paulo.
At the drive-through inoculation site in the central city of São Paulo, the first targeted people over the age of 90 visited one after another to receive inoculation.
In Brazil, the cumulative number of people infected with the new coronavirus has exceeded 20 million, and the death toll is more than 580,000, the second highest in the world.
Initially, vaccination was delayed, but supply has increased since around June, and so far about 30% of the total population has been vaccinated twice.
The Brazilian government is urgently taking measures to normalize the economy by promoting the third vaccination and calling on those who have not completed the second vaccination to actively inoculate.
