No domingo, 7 de fevereiro de 2021, Minas Gerais recebeu mais de 316 mil doses da Coronavac no aeroporto de Confins, elevando o estoque estadual a cerca de 1,2 milhão de unidades. O gesto logístico carregava um peso simbólico maior: pela primeira vez, a campanha de vacinação se abria para além dos profissionais de saúde, alcançando os idosos acima de 90 anos — aqueles que carregam, em seus corpos, a maior vulnerabilidade diante da pandemia. É o momento em que uma sociedade decide, com seringa e planilha, quem protege primeiro.
