Botucatu is a Brazilian municipality in the state of São Paulo, 235 km from the state capital, São Paulo, to which it is linked by the Marechal Rondon and Castelo Branco highways. It is located at 22º53'09" south latitude and 48º26'42" west longitude. It lies at an altitude of 840 metres and its climate is classified as humid subtropical. The estimated population in 2022 was 145,155 inhabitants. The municipality is made up of the seat (which includes the village of César Neto) and the districts of Rubião Júnior and Vitoriana.
The municipality's zero milestone is located in Emílio Pedutti Square (“Praça do Bosque”). The municipality has a mild climate (average temperature of 20°C) and a relatively high altitude, ranging from 756 metres in the lowland (the former slaughterhouse) to 920 metres on the Morro de Rubião Júnior (the highest point).
In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Botucatu was chosen for a study on the effectiveness of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, distributed in Brazil by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz). The aim was to administer the vaccine to the entire adult population of the city, aged between 18 and 60, to test its effects when applied en masse, to observe the impact of vaccination on reducing COVID-19 cases and its effectiveness against the various variants of the virus, by sequencing the genome of all positive cases of the disease in the city during the eight-month period of the study.
