The image had a great echo on social networks.

A photograph of an indigenous man carrying his father on his back to go to get vaccinated against covid-19 caught the attention of thousands of people in Brazil on social networks.

The picture shows Tawy Zó’é, 24, struggling to carry Wahu Zó’é, 67.

The young man walked for hours in the woods, along a road with hills, streams and other obstacles until reaching the base of the health team in the region.

The scene moved the doctor Erik Jennings Simões, who recorded the moment in a photograph. For the health professional, the commitment of the indigenous young man to immunize his father was one of the most remarkable moments he witnessed in 2021.
