"I have a feeling of winning. At the beginning of this year, we were still in despair. On January 17, the Chinese vaccine came. Months after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese companies, Brazilian citizen Monica Carassans said.
On January 17 this year, female nurses Karasans and Vanusa Kembe were vaccinated with the new crown vaccine Kellyfour developed by Beijing Kexing Zhongwei Biotechnology Co., Ltd., becoming the first COVID-19 vaccine and the first indigenous vaccinator in the country after Kerraffle obtained an emergency use permit in Brazil.
Karasans, 55, works at an infectious disease research institute in São Paulo, Brazil. She herself suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Karasans said, "They injected me with Kerraffle, and this vaccine is very safe."
Kembe, 51, said: "I got (two doses) of the Kerraf vaccine and one booster and it felt really good. I didn't feel the side effects of the vaccine, only the excitement of defeating the virus. ”
The city of Guarulhos, where Kembei is located, is home to Sao Paulo International Airport, which is home to many indigenous Brazilians. To strengthen the protection of Indigenous Brazilians, the Brazilian government included them in the first group to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
According to Kembei, at first many indigenous people across the country called her to inquire about the vaccination, and when they saw that Kembe had no adverse reactions after vaccination, the rumors and suspicions about the vaccine were gradually broken.
According to statistics from the Brazilian website Le Panko, about 75% of the country's population has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and about 65% of the population has received two doses of the vaccine.
Although the current epidemic situation in Brazil has improved significantly from before, Calassans still hopes that people will not let their guard down.
She said that the Brazilian people are becoming more and more aware of the epidemic prevention and the acceptance of the new crown vaccine is also increasing, and "there is a little consensus that it is very important that we are better vaccinated to protect our family and friends."
