She also warned that people should respect the indications for each immunization device. “The person should know very well that the vaccine they have taken, will take the first and second doses of the same vaccine and does not want to go to the unit to take other vaccines. There is no need and we have not finished all age groups, so there is no because it is not authorized, there is no revaccination Therefore, this person must stick to this schedule, if she has already taken two doses or one dose, it is related to that vaccine that she took,” he emphasized.

The Technical Coordinator of Health indicated that the municipality will take action according to each case investigated and may submit the complaint to the Public Ministry of the State of São Paulo (MPE-SP).
