"Less than 0.2% of people vaccinated with the first or second dose were reported as COVID-19 cases, at least 14 days after the first dose was applied," they detailed from the portfolio led by Carla Vizzotti.
The conclusions of the health authorities are based on the information available, until March 26, in the National Health Surveillance System (SNVS) and in the Federal Register of Nominal Vaccination (NomiVac) as of March 26, 2021.
