You reached the end.

What stays with you

1. Distrust goes way back. In 1904, a vaccine imposed by force ended in revolt, and smallpox kept killing.
2. The PNI was born in 1973, the year Brazil became free of smallpox.
3. Brazil's last case of polio was in 1989.
4. SUS vaccines are for anyone in Brazil, Brazilian or not, at any income.
5. SUS vaccines come mainly from two public laboratories, and Fiocruz sells vaccines to UN agencies.
6. Without high vaccination, disease comes back. Measles was eliminated in 2016 and topped 21,000 cases in 2019.
7. In 2020 the Supreme Court ruled: vaccination can be mandatory, but no one is vaccinated by force.
