Brazil Launches National Multivaccination Campaign for Children and Teens

Public health authorities across Brazil launched a coordinated National Multivaccination Campaign, beginning Monday, to update vaccination records for children and adolescents under the age of 15. The initiative, reported by major outlets including G1 and Folha de S.Paulo, targets coverage gaps in foundational immunization schedules.

Clinical Objectives of the Pediatric Push

The national catch-up campaign specifically targets minors under 15 years old to close immunity gaps in standard pediatric schedules. Municipal health secretariats across regions like Rio de Janeiro, Manaus, and Campo Grande opened clinics simultaneously starting Monday to meet these targets.

Municipal Execution and Booklet Evaluations

According to coverage from Campo Grande and Sul 21, the strategy involves evaluating individual vaccination booklets to administer missing doses recommended by the National Immunization Program (PNI).
