Governors who met with Minister Eduardo Pazuello (Health) said that the federal government would present this Wednesday (9) a logistical plan for vaccinating the population against Covid-19.

Pazuello will explain how the vaccine will be distributed throughout the national territory.

The minister will likely detail the preparations for the purchase of syringes and ultra-coolers, necessary for the storage of vaccinations in extremely low temperatures.

The minister signaled that he would make the announcement during a tense meeting with governors. Six heads of state government attended the Planalto Palace, where the meeting took place, while representatives of the other federation units followed the meeting by teleconference.
