As one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19, Brazil’s recovery hinges on the success of its vaccination program. David Andrew Taylor reports

In spite of the measures passed in Brazil to attempt to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the country has continued to struggle due to the scale and number of obstacles hindering its recovery.
It is vital that the immunisation program currently being rolled out succeeds.

These are uniquely trying times as the world collectively responds to what is now the second wave of the pandemic of the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 and its resulting disease COVID-19. According to the Weekly Epidemiological Update of the World Health Organization (WHO) of 23 February 2021, there are now over 110.7m reported cases and over 2.4m deaths globally to date. And there are now more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2, such as VOC-202012/01, of which variant 94 countries (including Brazil as of 31 December 2020) now report imported cases or community transmission.
