Port workers are the next in line to be vaccinated in Paraná. Along with other priority groups, through the Covid-19 State Vaccination Plan, the professional category will receive the first doses that arrive in the 21st batch of immunizations that the state is to receive from the Ministry of Health. Of the 390,190 doses, the expectation is that 9,627 are destined for the group.

For the Secretary of State for Infrastructure and Logistics, Sandro Alex, the vaccination of port workers is a vital decision because of the imminence of a new strain. “It is important that workers feel safe in continuing to work and that the state also feels safe with the work continuing,” he says.

According to him, the group of workers in the ports of Paranaguá and Antonina involves all categories of Individual Port Workers (TPAs), companies, and maritime agencies that operate in Paraná ports.

For André Pioli, Director of Business Development at Portos do Paraná, port workers must be vaccinated as soon as possible. The work did not stop and continues to move the economy of the state and Brazil. “Now, the priority is to work for these vaccines to come soon so that we can immunize everyone,” he says.
