Meningitis C: Campinas begins vaccinating health professionals this Monday | Campinas and the region

The target audience consists of physicians, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, biologists, medical doctors, pharmacists, dentists, speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, physical educators, and veterinarians. In addition, there are professionals from different regions working on service sites, including technicians, assistants, receptionists, security guards, cleaners, chefs, and ambulance drivers.

To receive the vaccination, it is necessary to provide a photo document and proof of work. The vaccination is available even to those who have a full vaccination schedule, as long as they received their previous dose at least four weeks before, according to the municipal administration.

The immunization device is available in units until February 2023. However, the city government has emphasized that the goal is to expand protection for people who are constantly exposed to bacteria and prevent the spread of disease.

The vaccine is part of the National Immunization Calendar. For the general public, two doses are recommended: the first at 3 and 5 months of age, and a booster dose, preferably at 12 months of age.
