Covid-19: São Paulo city reaches mark of 100% of adult population immunized
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – “A great victory for immunization in São Paulo,” celebrated São Paulo city Health Secretary Edson Aparecido, when commenting on the fact that 100% of the adult population is fully immunized, a milestone reached on Wednesday, November 24.
In fact, according to the Secretariat, the city registered 100.03% of people over 18 years of age immunized with either the 2 doses or the single dose vaccine.
The total exceeds 100% due to an outdated number of people vaccinated. “And also because people from out of town were vaccinated,” Aparecido explains.
According to the latest Municipal Health Secretariat survey, 21,384,227 vaccine doses have been administered in the city of São Paulo in all age groups.
