occurrences of the disease, found preventive actions, but it was not possible to contain the
spread of the disease due to the complexity and politicization of pandemic that implies in
hindering and minimizing this situation. Another factor is the population behavior itself and the
low incidence of immunization applications. The vaccine is primarily reaching the age groups
