The Brazilian Ministry of Health has added Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "vaccines" to its mandatory vaccination schedule for children aged six months through five years.
According to reports, Brazil's National Immunization Program (PNI) will require all children six months of age and older to get jabbed for COVID beginning in 2024, despite growing opposition from experts highlighting the dangers of the jabs.
Brazilian Minister of Health Nísia Trindade is defending the new policy despite concerns being vocalized at a recent hearing before Brazil's Chamber of Deputies. Trindade clarified that the families of unvaccinated children will no longer receive support from the Bolsa Família welfare program beginning in 2024.
According to reports, the PNI will require every child six months of age and older to take three doses of COVID injection. The first two will be administered four weeks apart while the third will be administered eight weeks after the second dose.
Pfizer's mRNA (modRNA) shot is the primary formulation available for Brazilian children, as well as China's CoronaVac (Sinovac) injection.
Media reports state that the decision to mandate COVID shots on children in Brazil "was taken on the basis of global scientific evidence and epidemiological data of cases and deaths from the disease in the country."

Brazil to require COVID jabs for childhood education
If all goes as planned, the next step for mandatory COVID jabs in Brazil will include the creation of school vaccination centers with strict requirements. In order to get an education, Brazilian students will need to first get jabbed at one of these centers.
Trindade's excuse for why COVID jabs need to be forced on Brazilian children is that cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) are rising, supposedly. More than 3,000 cases of SARS, Trindade would further claim, have so far been identified in children under the age of one, along with 1,000 cases in children aged one through four.
"The [Health] Ministry also explained that it follows the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO), which in March of this year recommended that immunization be a priority for the high-risk population, such as people with significant comorbidities, including children 6 months or older," reports state.
CNN Brazil further reported that COVID jabs will be prioritized for other "high-risk" groups in Brazil as well, including the elderly, the immunocompromised, the permanently disabled, pregnant and postpartum women, health care workers, people with comorbidities, Indigenous peoples, residents of long-term care facilities, homeless people, those in jail, and those who staff prisons.
"In Brazil, we have slightly expanded the group compared to WHO's recommendations, which are more limited," commented Ethel Maciel, the Brazilian Ministry of Health's secretary of health surveillance.
Maciel further defended the mandate by stating that "more than 60 countries" have already authorized the jab for children as of the end of 2021, and that Brazil is simply catching up with them.
"We already have very robust evidence that indicates the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine," she said. "In Brazil, we had 4,000 people dying every day from COVID-19. Today, we have 42. This is the greatest evidence of the effectiveness of the vaccine."
Another Brazilian media outlet says Brazil recorded one death per day in 2022 among children aged six months through five years, supposedly due to COVID.
"The Brazilian government's proposal is to include, as mandatory, annual vaccination for COVID-19 in the age group from six months to five years of age, claiming that they are at-risk groups," commented Infectious disease specialist Dr. Francisco Cardoso to The Defender.
"The addition of this rule to the PNI calendar makes this rule mandatory, except only in cases of medical certificates with express contraindication."
