DW News published this video item, entitled “Can a homegrown vaccine end Brazil’s COVID crisis? | COVID-19 Special” – below is their description.
16 million COVID cases, nearly half a million deaths and no end in sight. Brazil is still struggeling with the coronavirus pandemic. Health experts worry government mismanagement will only make it more difficult to find a way out of this crisis.
So far only 15 percent of Brazilians have got their first vaccination shot. A new study shows another 15 percent of the population already has antibodies, suggesting infection at some point and possibly some immunity. We’ll crunch the numbers with an epidemiologist in Brazil and take a look at the countries efforts to develop home-grown vaccines.
