Starting this week, the City of Blumenau, through the Department of Health Promotion (Semus), has identified 24 Family Health Strategy (ESF) units with extended vaccination room hours to immunize the population at alternative times. New actions launched last Monday (August 15) will expand vaccination coverage for influenza, covid-19, polio and other diseases.

Residents of 16 microdistricts are covered. Among them: Verde, Badenfurt, Da Gloria, Escola Agricola, Fidelis, Itupava Central, Itupava Norte, Itupavasinha, Nova Esperanza, Passo Manso, Progresso, Salto Weissbach, Tribess, Velha, Velha Grande and Vila Itupava.

Acting Mayor of Blumenau Maria Regina Soar says the importance of action is inextricably linked to the commitment to take care of people’s health. Primary health care workers have made a commitment to open vaccination rooms at other times to give the public access to vaccinations after hours, she said.

“We must count on the awareness and cooperation of residents to ensure that diseases that have already been eradicated do not return to our daily lives,” he says.

For admission to immunization, you must present an official document with a photo and vaccination card (if available). Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
