Brazil Free Vaccination Campaign Aug–Sep 2026

When and Where Can You Get Vaccinated?

Brazil's 2026 National Multi-Vaccination Campaign runs from Monday, 4 August to 1 September, at every Basic Health Unit (UBS) and vaccination point across the country. All vaccines are provided free of charge through the SUS public health system.

Which Vaccines Are Available?

The campaign covers a wide range of immunisations, giving everyone with an incomplete vaccination schedule the chance to catch up:

• BCG (tuberculosis)
• MMR (triple viral)
• Inactivated polio
• Rotavirus
• Pneumococcal 10-valent (conjugate)
• Meningococcal C and ACWY (conjugate)
• Influenza
• Covid-19
• Yellow fever
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Chickenpox (varicella)
• DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
• Hepatitis A and B

What Is the Dia D National Vaccination Day?

The campaign peaks on Saturday, 22 August — the Dia D national day — when extra vaccination posts will be active throughout Brazil. This is the ideal moment for families who find it hard to visit a UBS on weekdays.

Why Is Measles Getting Special Attention?

The Ministry of Health recently expanded measles vaccination recommendations in three São Paulo municipalities — Guarulhos, São Bernardo do Campo and São Paulo city — after identifying transmission chains linked to an imported virus. Residents in these areas are especially encouraged to update their MMR status.

What Is the Digital Child Health Booklet?

Parents can track their child's vaccination history, medical appointments, weight, height, head circumference and BMI through the Caderneta Digital da Criança app. The app also sends alerts when the next dose is due. The traditional paper booklet remains available at any UBS.
