São Paulo to vaccinate people from age 32 next week

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Today, July 15, people age 36 are being administered the first dose. Tomorrow, July 16, vaccination will cover people age 35.

On Monday, July 19, people age 34 will be vaccinated; on Tuesday, July 20, people age 33; and on Wednesday, July 21, those age 32. July 22, 23, and 24 will be reserved for the rescheduling of people in this age group and to the administration of the second dose to all groups.

Pregnant women and mothers who live in São Paulo may also visit a Basic Health Unit (BHU) to be vaccinated. In these cases, only CoronaVac or Pfizer vaccines will be used.

Those summoned in previous stages but who have not yet been vaccinated may also seek vaccination posts to be immunized. The Vacina Sampa webpage provides the list of eligible people and vaccination posts in the city of São Paulo. The website De Olho na Fila shows how the flow is in each vaccination location.

Drive-thru, mega-stations and pharmacies will reopen next week, from 8 AM to 5 PM. In the UBS, attendance occurs from 7 AM to 7 PM, the same times as the Ambulatory Medical Assistance (AMA) integrated with UBS.

To expedite service at the time of vaccination, the city hall urges a pre-registration to be made on the Vacine Já website. Data such as full name, CPF, address, telephone number, and date of birth are required.

An identification document must be presented at the station, in addition to proof of residence in the city, which can be shown in digital format or printed. If the proof of residence pertains to another resident in the house, kinship must be certified.

Surplus vaccines

To prevent waste of surplus vaccine doses, health units have waiting lists with the registration of users eligible for these doses. This occurs when there are open vaccine vials left over at the end of the day. To get on the list, those interested should look for the nearest UBS to register.
