The COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Brazil is an ongoing mass immunization campaign for the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. It started on January 17, 2021, when the country had 210 thousand deaths.[10]

The Instituto Butantan imported the first 6 million doses of CoronaVac in a collaboration with the Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.[11]

There is no deadline forecast for immunizing the country's entire population due to the lack of supplies for vaccine production[12] and also due to political disputes between the São Paulo state government and the Jair Bolsonaro government.[13][14][15]

According to a June 2022 study published in The Lancet, COVID-19 vaccination in Brazil prevented an additional 1 million deaths from December 8, 2020, to December 8, 2021.[16][17]
