Abstract

In December 2019, China reported a new disease, later called COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The disease quickly spread around the world, becoming a global pandemic, reaching at the end of June 2022, 544,367,204 diagnosed cases and 6,336,527 deaths. In view of the absence of a vaccine, non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) were adopted to contain the progress of the disease. Because it is a new disease, lacked proof as to the effectiveness of these interventions in the fight against Covid-19. In this way, research was made necessary, serving as an aid for better decision-making by competent bodies. With the release of vaccines for emergency use and, later, for definitive use, researches was also shown to be necessary evaluating the real effect on the population. Several publications have been developed with this objective and the present work aims, therefore, to evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological measures adopted through state decrees and also the effectiveness of vaccination in the state of Sergipe. To this end, a historical approach to the pandemic and the responsible virus will be made, following in the second chapter the non-pharmacological measures. In the third chapter, vaccination will be addressed and, finally, the impact of the measures adopted in Sergipe will be carried out, in the fourth chapter, with presentation of the data and discussion. The NPI adopted in the state of Sergipe were accompanied by reductions in epidemiological indices, while loosening of measures has led to a worsening of. In relation to vaccination, although it was initiated at a time of high epidemiological, there was a progressive and considerable improvement in the rates from 25% of the vaccinated population, reaching, at the end of September 2021, values close to those of the beginning of the pandemic.
