Brazilian President sanctions law allowing private companies to purchase COVID vaccines

On March 10th, 2021 the Brazilian President sanctioned Law 14.125/2021, authorizing private companies to purchase COVID-19 vaccines approved by the health regulatory agency (ANVISA). All shots must be reverted to the public healthcare system while priority groups are being vaccinated. After that, companies will be able to purchase the vaccines for their own use (distributing them free of charge), but 50% of the shots must still be reverted to the public healthcare system.
