A Macuxi Indigenous woman is the first person vaccinated against COVID-19 in Roraima: "I want to set an example." Iolanda Pereira da Silva, 45, is a midwife and a traditional healer in her community. She stated that she prepares traditional Indigenous medicines and wants to set an example so that other "kin" do not resist immunization.
A native of Raposa Serra do Sol, she is a member of the Uiramutã community, located in the municipality of the same name. From 1993 to 2017, Iolanda worked as a health agent in the region, and from January 2018 to November 2019, she served as the coordinator for traditional Indigenous medicine at the East Special Indigenous Health District (DSEI).
"I feel very grateful to be part of this moment; being the first Indigenous person is deeply rewarding. I work with traditional Indigenous medicine—preparing remedies—and while we do that and manage to help our kin [other Indigenous people], this is a moment where I can represent them and set an example, encouraging everyone not to resist but to accept it. It is something the world has been waiting for—a response to alleviate the impact of this disease in our communities and across the country," she said shortly before being vaccinated.
