BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga said on Friday the country has already acquired, or is in advanced talks to secure, around 350 million vaccine doses for 2022.
Queiroga said that although Sinovac’s Coronavac vaccine was not currently part of plans for the national campaign next year, it could be incorporated if it receives full approval from Brazil’s health regulator.
