  • Brazil said Sunday it was lifting its requirement for local authorities to reserve half their coronavirus vaccine stockpiles for second doses, seeking to accelerate its lagging immunization campaign and curb a deadly Covid-19 surge. Outgoing health minister Eduardo Pazuello said the goal of the policy switch was to get at least one vaccine dose to the maximum number of people as fast as possible. Brazil, which has the second-highest death toll in the pandemic, is so far using the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and Chinese-developed CoronaVac, both of which require two doses. "By freeing the full stockpile of vaccines for immediate use, we will be able to double the number of doses applied this week, saving and protecting more lives," Pazuello said in a statement. The ministry said it had received guarantees from suppliers that enough vaccines would arrive to ensure all recipients receive their second dose on schedule. There has been international debate among public health experts and officials over whether it is better to administer as many first doses as possible or reserve some supply for second doses. Countries such as Britain have shown promising results adopting the first strategy. Brazil has issued at least one dose to around 5.5 percent of the population so far -- way off pace to meet the health ministry's goal of vaccinating the entire adult population by the end of the year. President Jair Bolsonaro faces mounting pressure to improve his handling of the pandemic, which has claimed 293,000 lives in Brazil, second only to the United States. jhb/to
