In addition, almost 74 per cent of the Brazilian population are fully immunised, while 81 per cent have receive a first vaccine dose and over 74 million people have been given a booster dose, it added.
However, the Ministry emphasized the importance of the vaccination campaign, even after the end of the Covid-19 public health emergency.
It added that immunization against Covid-19 is essential to maintain transmission control and that Brazilians must complete the vaccination schedule with both doses and a booster dose.
Since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, Brazil has registered a total of 30,338,697 Covid-19 cases and 662,802 deaths.
The countrys caseload is the third highest in the world after the US and India, while its death toll is the second largest after the US.
