In response to the decline in childhood vaccination rates, the "Vacina, Sim! Vacina, Agora!" initiative employed an episode featuring Jose Comelon receiving a vaccination. Additionally, physical activations at prominent locations like the Catavento Museum and São Paulo City Hall were implemented to enhance awareness among parents and guardians.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Totoy and UNICEF conducted interactive presentations featuring Totoy characters and health professionals, emphasizing the importance of preventing COVID-19. The campaign, with over 7 million views on YouTube, played a significant role in combating misinformation.[4]
