Abstract
In Brazil, and worldwide, we are reaching a critical moment in the COVID-19 pandemic. As the number of virus mutations grows, a paradoxical stabilization in the number of vaccinated individuals is concerned. In this letter, our goal is to raise awareness about the fundamental role we believe public health systems have in promoting communication policies that inform, reassure, and encourage vaccination without compromising individuals' freedom. We do so by providing key demographics on vaccination rates in Brazil, contrasting current infection rates. Furthermore, we also raise a series of research questions that we believe should be timely addressed by the scientific community to generate empirical evidence that will support effective policy and public administration.
