Objective: to analyze Covid-19 morbidity and mortality and vaccination coverage among Indigenous populations in a Brazilian Amazon state. Method: epidemiological, descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted with secondary data from 8,197 records of Covid-19 cases and deaths and vaccination coverage among Indigenous people from 2020 to 2022 in the state of Pará. The data originated from the Ministry of Health and were analyzed using descriptive statistics after approval by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: the study showed a higher proportion of Covid-19 cases in females (n=4,262; 51.99%), among children (n=1,994; 24.32%), and a higher number of deaths in the age group of 71 to 80 years old (n=17; 32.69%).
for the first dose, vaccination coverage was low in the Special Indigenous Health Districts of Rio Tapajós (n=4,653; 51.6%) and Kaiapó do Pará (n=2,177; 52.8%). Conclusion: there was an increase in mortality in most Districts and low Covid-19 vaccination coverage.
