In Salvador, the Municipal Health Secretariat (SMS) is actively promoting the importance of vaccination for adults through the National Immunization Program (PNI). The health authorities emphasize that many adults forget to keep their vaccination records updated, which is crucial for disease prevention and personal health protection. Free vaccines are provided at basic health units across the city, in line with the current national vaccination calendar set forth by the Ministry of Health.

The SMS has made it clear that vaccinations are available based on age, health conditions, previous vaccination history, and priority groups. The initiative aims to remind adults of the need to stay current with their immunizations, as maintaining an up-to-date vaccination record is essential for long-term health. A local television program, Jornal da Manhã, has also played a role in sharing guidance for those whose vaccinations are overdue.

By ensuring that adults in Salvador have access to necessary vaccines, public health officials aim to reduce the risk of disease spread and enhance community immunity. This initiative not only addresses Covid-19 but also other preventable diseases, encouraging residents to actively participate in their health management by taking advantage of free vaccination opportunities offered throughout the city.
