caracterização espaço temporal na Bahia, Brasil entre janeiro e agosto de 2021

Abstract

This work proposes to reflect public health policies in the field of differentiated attention in relation to the indigenous population regarding the right to vaccination against covid-19 in the state of Bahia, Brazil, in 23 municipalities that have an indigenous population living in the first eight months of availability of immunobiologicals for priority groups for vaccination. A descriptive ecological study of temporal and spatial series was carried out, based on secondary data, from the Business Intelligence System for vaccination against Covid-19 developed by the Health Department of Bahia and the Localiza SUS System, from the Ministry of Health, between January and August. de 2021. Vaccination coverage against covid-19 among Bahian indigenous peoples was not homogeneous, municipalities located in the south and extreme south of the state showed the worst results, mainly due to the influences of fake news and geographic location , as they are people who live more isolated from large centers, another factor was the lack of uniformity of actions in the fight against the pandemic of federal, state and municipal entities. The original peoples living in villages and not living in villages demand integrated policies against health emergencies for equitable interventions in the territory, as well as communication against false information in health.
