Health workers have begun a critical mission to vaccinate communities along Brazil’s Amazon River as hospitals in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state, face oxygen shortages and overflowing COVID-19 cases. 🏥💔
With infections skyrocketing exponentially, authorities are racing to distribute vaccines—2 million doses have already been administered nationwide. Health officials warn the situation remains dire, calling it a 'race against time' to protect vulnerable populations in remote areas.
The Amazon region’s healthcare system has been pushed to its limits, highlighting the urgency of vaccine equity in hard-to-reach zones. Will this new effort turn the tide? 🌍🔬
