Acesso �s vacinas � o maior desafio para melhorar as coberturas no pa�s, diz Unicef

Brazil has made considerable strides in reducing the number of children who haven't received even a single vaccine dose, according to UNICEF. The focus has been on the pentavalent vaccine, which protects against several serious diseases, including diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, and infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. However, access to vaccines remains a significant hurdle in further improving vaccination rates across the country, highlighting the ongoing challenges in public health coverage and equity. This is crucial as vaccine coverage directly impacts the nation's overall health and ability to prevent outbreaks of preventable diseases.
