D-Day for the flu shot
Brazil’s National Influenza Vaccination Campaign kicked off officially throughout the country on Saturday (Apr. 30), with a “D-Day” mobilization run by the Ministry of Health. The campaign is targeted at children aged between six months and five years, pregnant women, elderly people, women within 45 days of childbirth, individuals with medical conditions, and health workers. Indigenous people, incarcerated populations, and prison workers will also receive immunization.

D-Day é uma expressão de origem militar, onde o “d” é a letra inicial da palavra inglesa day, “dia”. Na Segunda Guerra Mundial, o dia marcado para a invasão da Europa pelos Aliados, as tropas britânicas, americanas e outras, foi 5 de junho de 1944. Devido ao péssimo tempo naquele dia, foi adiado para o dia seguinte, dia 6 de junho, quando as tropas chegaram às praias da Normandia, no Norte da França.
Da área militar, a expressão D-Day passou a significar o dia em que algo importante acontece, principalmente algo que foi planejado durante um bom tempo.
- After months of campaigning, everybody is ready for D-Day tomorrow.
- Após meses de campanha, todo mundo está preparado para o Dia D amanhã.

Hurray! I’ve made it!
Meaning/Usage: To succeed at something; to arrive
In the literal meaning, to say a person arrived. But another common meaning is to say someone succeeded at something.
“You made it! I didn’t think you were going to show up.”
“I can’t believe you made it. It was a difficult task.”
“I made it in life”
“I made it” is used with a reference to a specific time, often implicitly now or today, and if you want to refer to something that happened in the past. For example, one would say “I made it” after climbing to the peak of a mountain, or when saying “I made it as a professional swimmer on 2 January 1982 when I won the gold metal.”
“I have made it” is used without a specific reference to time. Thus, it means the event happened at some point in the past but the speaker isn’t being explicit about time. You are telling someone that, in the grand scheme of your life, you have done something.
For example, “I have made it as a professional swimmer”, means the speaker succeeded in becoming a professional swimmer but isn’t being specific about the time that he succeeded.
It’s a very subtle difference. Here are some more examples:
Today I challenged myself to run a mile, and I made it.
I have always wanted to swim across the river, and I’ve made it!
