Due to social distancing guidelines and the displacement of both human and material resources to fight the covid-19 pandemic, individuals seeking healthcare services face certain challenges. Immunization programs have already been a worrisome topic for health authorities due to declines in vaccine uptake rates and are now especially affected by the covid-19 pandemic. Disbelief in science, dissemination of fake news about vaccines, socioeconomic vulnerability and social inequality are some of the challenges faced. This commentary article discusses the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic on immunization programs in Brazil. In light of advances (and notability) of Brazil's national immunization program, established in the 1970s, the programs face challenges, such as the recent drop in vaccine uptake rates. In addition to this health crisis, there is also Brazil's current political crisis, which will undoubtedly require assistance from researchers, policymakers and society to be fixed.
由于社交距离准则和为抗击新冠疫情而将人力和物力资源转移，寻求医疗保健服务的个人面临着某些挑战。由于疫苗接种率下降，免疫计划已经成为卫生当局令人担忧的话题，现在尤其受到新冠疫情的影响。对科学的不信任、有关疫苗的虚假新闻的传播、社会经济脆弱性和社会不平等是面临的一些挑战。本文述评讨论了新冠疫情对巴西免疫计划的影响。鉴于巴西的国家免疫计划（于 20 世纪 70 年代建立）的进展（和显著成果），该计划面临着挑战，例如最近疫苗接种率下降。除了这场卫生危机，巴西目前还面临政治危机，这无疑需要研究人员、政策制定者和社会的帮助才能得以解决。
