SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazil’s Health Ministry expects the country to have 150 million doses of vaccines against COVID-19 available in the first half of next year, Health Surveillance Secretary Arnaldo Medeiros told lawmakers in a hearing on Tuesday.
Medeiros said that estimate includes doses from AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Sao Paulo’s Butantan Institute, which is filling and finishing a vaccine developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech.
