The #Karuazu people from Alagoas State, Brazil bless the #COVID19 vaccines delivered to them.

Currently, there are over 8 million confirmed cases in #Brazil, and indigenous peoples are among the most affected.

APIB - Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil insists that indigenous peoples need to be included in the priority groups to receive COVID-19 vaccines. However, the Brazilian government only included Indigenous Peoples who live in demarcated lands - leaving behind those who live in urban areas and outside demarcated territories.
