Since March 2020, Brazil has faced the pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), which has severely modified the way in which the population lives and uses health services. As such, face-to-face attendance has dropped dramatically, even for child vaccination, due to measures of social distancing to mitigate the transmission of the virus. Several countries have recorded a substantial drop in vaccination coverage in children, especially of those under two years of age. In Brazil, administrative data indicate the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on this downward trend, which was already an important challenge of the National Immunization Program in recent years. Many children will be susceptible to immunopreventable diseases, which reinforces the need to assess the vaccine status of schoolchildren before returning to face-to-face classes.
自 2020 年 3 月以来，巴西一直面临着 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，这极大地改变了人们的生活方式和使用卫生服务的方式。因此，由于为了减轻病毒传播而采取的社交距离措施，即使是儿童疫苗接种，面对面就诊的人数也大幅下降。一些国家记录到儿童疫苗接种覆盖率大幅下降，特别是两岁以下儿童。在巴西，行政数据显示了 COVID-19 大流行对这一下降趋势的影响，这在近年来一直是国家免疫规划的一个重要挑战。许多儿童将容易感染可通过免疫预防的疾病，这就更需要在恢复面对面授课之前评估学童的疫苗接种状况。
