Due to the update of the vaccination data submission system, not all municipalities have uploaded information regarding the vaccinated public. In this way, the numbers given in the vacancy scale correspond only to those collected by some municipalities, giving the impression of a low vaccination coverage.

Another change in standardization of information is that the Janssen vaccine, previously considered a single dose, is now counted as a two-dose vaccine.
