Not much information available yet. From a Google Translate article. BANDNews: Fiocruz, in partnership with the government of Espírito Santo, is going to carry out a study with the application of half a dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine to the entire population of the municipality of Viana, in Greater Vitória. The city has about 35 thousand inhabitants. The immunization will take place on Sunday, June 13, and residents will be able to choose whether they want to participate in the study. According to the state secretary of Health, Nésio Fernandes, there is already evidence of the effectiveness of the application of half a dose of the vaccine in immunization against Covid-19. If the experience is successful, it will be possible to double the number of people vaccinated in the country with the immunizing agent produced by Fiocruz. See my previous posts on fractional dosing for why this is very important. Hat tip: Cisco Costa.
