Este artigo se baseia em uma pesquisa que teve como objetivoapreender os sentidos atribuídos por brasileiros à primeira dose da imunização contra a covid-19. Trata-se de uma análise netnográfica. Os dados foram coletados em 2021 por meio da hashtag VACINAPARATODOS no Instagram. Os métodos utilizados para análise de dados foram: análise de similitude, com auxílio do software IRAMUTEQ e da análise do Discourse of the collective subject (discurso do sujeito coletivo), de Lefevre. Os resultados apontaram como ideias centrais: a emoção positiva e o sentimento de gratidão; a emoção negativa e o sentimento atribuído às vidas perdidas e ao negacionismo; o significado da primeira dose e o sentimento de esperança; a imunização e o exercício da cidadania: ato de consciência, responsabilidade e respeito. Os sentidos atrelados à oportunidade de acesso à vacina mostraram a dualidade de sentimentos que vão desde sensações positivas de reconhecimento e valorização até sentimentos negativos, de revolta e indignação, diante da hesitação vacinal e dos discursos antivacina.
This article bases on a research that aimed to understand the meanings attributed by Brazilians to the first dose of immunization against covid-19. A netnographic analysis was carried out. The data was collected in 2021 using the hashtag VACINAPARATODOS on Instagram. The methods used analyse the data were: similarity analysis, with the aid of the IRAMUTEQ software and of the analysis of Discourse of the collective subject, developed by Lefevre. The results pointed out the following central ideas: positive emotion and a feeling of gratitude; the negative emotion and a feeling attributed to lost lives and to denialism; the meaning of the first dose and the feeling of hope; the immunization and the exercise of citizenship: an act of conscience, responsibility and respect. The meanings linked to the opportunity to access the vaccine showed a duality of feelings ranging from positive feelings of recognition and appreciation to negative feelings of revolt and indignation, in the face of vaccine hesitancy and of the anti-vaccine discourses.

Introducción. El descenso de las coberturas de vacunación fue muy significativo en la última década. Los pediatras son una pieza fundamental para recuperar coberturas y aumentar la confianza en la vacunación. Objetivos. Describir la percepción de los pediatras acerca del conocimiento y prácticas sobre vacunas, e identificar barreras en el acceso. Métodos. Estudio analítico observacional, mediante encuesta en línea. Se incluyeron variables del perfil del profesional, capacitación y barreras en inmunizaciones. Resultados. Participaron 1696 pediatras (tasa de respuesta: 10,7 %), media de 50,4 años. El 78,7 % fueron mujeres. El 78,2 % contaba con ≥10 años de ejercicio profesional. El 78,4 % realizaba atención ambulatoria y el 56,0 % en el subsector privado. El 72,5 % realizó una capacitación en los últimos 2 años. Se manifestaron "capacitados" para transmitir a sus pacientes los beneficios de las vacunas: 97,2 %; objetivos de campañas: 87,7 %; contraindicaciones: 82,4 %; efectos adversos: 78,9 %; recupero de esquemas: 71,2 %; notificación de ESAVI: 59,5 %. La proporción fue estadísticamente superior, en todos los aspectos, en pediatras con ≥10 años de ejercicio y en aquellos con capacitación reciente (p ≤ 0,01). Barreras identificadas en el acceso a la vacunación: falsas contraindicaciones (62,3 %); falta temporaria de vacunas (46,4 %); motivos culturales (41,4 %); horario restringido del vacunatorio (40,6 %). Conclusiones. La percepción del grado de capacitación fue variable según el aspecto de la vacunación. Aquellos con mayor tiempo de ejercicio profesional y con actualización reciente se manifestaron con mayor grado de capacidad.

O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a cobertura vacinal da BCG, da VIP e da tríplice viral no Brasil, entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo e retrospectivo, com utilização de dados epidemiológicos disponíveis publicamente no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Os dados coletados durante o período selecionado foram analisados descritivamente. No Brasil, entre 2010 e 2020, a cobertura vacinal apresentou sua maior taxa anual no ano de 2015 e sua menor taxa em 2016. No que se refere à cobertura vacinal por região do Brasil, a Centro-Oeste obteve a maior taxa geral nos anos estudados. Quanto aos imunobiológicos enfatizados no estudo, é possível observar que as regiões Centro-Oeste e Sul apresentam as maiores taxas. Os valores encontrados nesta pesquisa expressam que houve uma queda da cobertura vacinal a partir de 2016 em todo o território brasileiro, e a maior taxa entre os estados foi a da região Centro-Oeste. Entre os imunobiológicos mencionados nesta pesquisa, observou-se que apenas a BCG e a VIP alcançaram valores acima de 90% no período em estudo, contudo, ambas vem apresentando queda da cobertura nos últimos anos, principalmente no ano de 2020, demonstrando que o atual cenário brasileiro está fora do preconizado.
This study aimed to describe BCG, VIP, and MMR vaccination coverage in Brazil from 2010 to 2020. This epidemiological, descriptive, and retrospective study used epidemiological data publicly available in the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System. Data collected for the selected period were descriptively analyzed. In Brazil, from 2010 to 2020, national vaccination coverage showed its highest annual rate in 2015 and the lowest rate in 2016. Regarding vaccination coverage by region of Brazil, the Midwest obtained the highest higher overall rate in the studied years. The immunobiologicals emphasized in studies showed that the Midwest and South have the highest rates. The values in this study express a drop in vaccination coverage from 2016 onward throughout the country, with the highest rate among states referring to the Midwest. Among the immunobiological products emphasized in this research, only BCG and VIP reached values above 90% in the studied period, but both have shown a drop in coverage in recent years, especially in the year 2020, evincing that the current Brazilian scenario remains outside recommendations.

ObjectiveTo identify the rate， population characteristics， and vaccination history of repeat infections among previously infected people in the current epidemic based on the rate of repeat infection and population characteristics of different mutant strains at different times in Pudong New Area of Shanghai， and to provide reference for the prevention and control strategies of novel coronavirus repeat infections. MethodsA total of 9 250 investigated subjects were randomly selected from the new cases of asymptomatic infection and confirmed cases reported by Pudong New Area from March to May 2022. The investigation mainly focused on demographic characteristics， nucleic acid or antigen test results， and symptoms after infection. The repeat infection rates among different populations were compared， and logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of gender， age， and vaccination status on repeat infections. ResultsThe survey sample of 9 250 people had a response rate of 81.85%. There were 4 043 males （53.40%） and 3 528 females （46.60%）， with a median age of 34 years old （P25， P75： 7， 61）. The overall vaccine uptake rate was 59.44% （4 500/7 571）. In December of 2022， there were 563 cases of repeat infection， with an infection rate of 7.44%. The lowest rate of repeat infection was seen in the 3‒ year-old group （2.86%） and the highest rate in the 30‒ year-old group （12.42%）， with significant differences between different age groups. The repeated infection rate for those who had completed their vaccinations was significantly lower （6.57%） compared to those who had not （7.11%）. The age groups of 3‒ years， 70‒79 years， as well as individuals who completed full vaccination and received booster shots were protective factors against repeat infections. ConclusionThe overall rate of reinfection among the infected in Shanghai during the spring of 2022 was low in the outbreak of the Omicron variant， and the rate of reinfection in the 3‒ year-old group was significantly lower than in other age groups. Completing the full course of vaccination significantly reduces the risk of reinfection. Although the reinfection rate is high in individuals who received booster shots， it remains a mitigating factor compared to those who do not receive the vaccine. It is recommended to continue monitoring reinfections in key populations and further strengthen immunization efforts.

Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of varicella in Chongqing from 2014 to 2020, and to provide evidence for the development of scientific and effective varicella control strategies. Methods Data on the outbreak of varicella and vaccination in Chongqing from 2014 to 2020 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and descriptive epidemiological methods were used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 181 551 cases of varicella were reported in Chongqing from 2014 to 2020, with an average annual incidence rate of 83.79 per 100 000. The incidence rate of varicella increased from 39.95 per 100 000 in 2014 to 81.88 per 100 000 in 2020 (P < 0.001). The incidence of varicella was seasonal, with the peak periods occurring from May to June and from October to December each year. The average annual incidence rate in municipal districts was 88.90/100 000, higher than 67.42/100 000 in counties and 82.50/100 000 in autonomous counties. The average annual incidence rate of varicella in males (87.13/100 000) was higher than that in females (80.38/100 000). The incidence of varicella was mainly distributed in people under 15 years old, with 143 508 cases (79.10%) reported, and the highest incidence age was 5-9 years old (37.00%). Among the affected occupations , 133 733 cases (62.6%) were students , 39 274 cases (18.40%) were children in nursery care, and 17 963 cases (8.4%) were scattered children. The actual number of doses of varicella vaccine from 2014 to 2020 was 2 302 522 doses, with the coverage rates of one-dose and two-dose vaccines being 75.56% and 32.17%, respectively. ARIMA predicted that there would be 2 604, 811, 756, 1 226, 2 405, 3 904, 2 410, 1 211, 2 034, 6 878, 10 887, and 8 955 cases of varicella from January to December 2021. Conclusion The incidence of varicella in Chongqing is on the rise, with obvious seasonal, regional and population distribution characteristics. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of varicella epidemic, strengthen the prevention and control measures of key groups and key institutions in the high incidence season, strengthen the publicity of varicella vaccine, and improve the vaccination rate of two-doses of varicella vaccine for eligible children.

Objective To understand the awareness rate and willingness of parents of school-age infants and young children in Huangpu District, Shanghai to receive the 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and its influencing factors, and to provide basic data for formulating community health education policies. Methods A stratified random sampling method was used to conduct a full coverage questionnaire survey on the PVC13 awareness rate and vaccination willingness of 1030 parents of infants and young children in 10 communities. Results A total of 1000 questionnaire surveys were completed, with an accurate response rate of 97.08%. The awareness rate of PCV13 was 85.50%, and the awareness rate of complications was less than 80%. The PCV13 vaccination rate was 55.60%. 38.74% of the reasons for not being vaccinated were concerned about vaccine side effects, and 32.21% were concerned about vaccine quality. The higher the education level of parents and the per capita annual income of the family, the higher the awareness rate of pneumococcal vaccine knowledge and the willingness to receive vaccination. Parents with registered residence in other places had low willingness to vaccinate PCV13. Conclusion The public has a higher awareness of PCV13 and a higher willingness to receive vaccination. It is necessary to strengthen the scientific popularization of complications of pneumococcal pneumonia and vaccine safety, strengthen vaccine safety supervision and disclosure of regulatory results, and strengthen PCV13 science popularization for parents of infants and young children with registered residence outside the city.

Diabetes is a common chronic non-infectious disease. Diabetic patients not only suffer from metabolic disorders, but are also prone to immune deficiencies and are at a higher risk of being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). Many studies at home and abroad have shown that the HPV infection rate of patients with diabetes is higher than that of non-diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes can benefit from HPV vaccination, and the tolerance is good. HPV vaccination is recommended for diabetic patients. This article reviews the research on diabetes, HPV infection, and HPV vaccine, which will provide references for HPV vaccination in diabetic patients.

Abstract Immunobiologicals represent an innovative therapeutic option in dermatology. They are indicated in severe and refractory cases of different diseases when there is contraindication, intolerance, or failure of conventional systemic therapy and in cases with significant impairment of patient quality of life. The main immunobiologicals used in dermatology basically include inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF), inhibitors of interleukin-12 and -23 (anti-IL12/23), inhibitors of interleukin-17 and its receptor (anti-IL17), inhibitors of interleukin-23 (anti-IL23), rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody), dupilumab (anti-IL4/IL13) and intravenous immunoglobulin. Their immunomodulatory action may be associated with an increase in the risk of infections in the short and long term, and each case must be assessed individually, according to the risk inherent to the drug, the patient general condition, and the need for precautions. This article will discuss the main risks of infection associated with the use of immunobiologicals, addressing the risk in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients, vaccination, fungal infections, tuberculosis, leprosy, and viral hepatitis, and how to manage the patient in the most diverse scenarios.

Abstract: The aim was to analyze the perception of Brazilian federal judges on the implications of COVID-19 vaccination. A study was carried out with Brazilian federal judges, who received a survey designed with multiple-choice questions on COVID-19 vaccination, covering topics such as its mandatory aspect, the application of coercive measures, hesitation to vaccinate, priority groups, the duties of Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa, acronym in Portuguese), the role of the Judiciary branch, and immunity passports. A total of 254 out of 1,300 federal judges from all states responded to the survey. Most respondents have a Bachelor's degree or a specialization (59.1%) and have been judges for more than 10 years (63.8%). A great majority of the judges (87.7%) agree with vaccine mandates for adults and for children and adolescents (66.1%). Over 75% of judges believe that all levels of government can impose sanctions on those who refuse to get vaccinated. The judges trust vaccination 93% of the time, 56.1% reject anti-vaccination movements, and 75.2% believe that Anvisa duties should be respected. The Judiciary branch actions concerning the COVID-19 pandemic are approved by 62.6% of judges, and 88.2% support immunity passports. There is a direct connection among mandatory vaccination, trust in the vaccine, and the adoption of immunity passports. Most federal judges agree with vaccine mandates for children and adults, support the application of sanctions for vaccination refusal, disapprove of anti-vaccination movements, agree with Anvisa's duties, and support judicial intervention in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Resumo O sarampo é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade na população pediátrica e pode ser prevenido com 100% de eficácia pela vacinação. No entanto, a doença permanece ativa no território brasileiro. O objetivo do artigo é avaliar a adesão da população à vacinação e a possível relação com hospitalização e mortalidade em relação ao sarampo no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico realizado a partir de dados secundários de mortalidade e internações acerca do sarampo e da cobertura vacinal contra a doença no Brasil nos anos de 2013 a 2022. O ápice de adesão ao calendário vacinal contra o sarampo se deu nos três anos que precederam a erradicação da doença no país, ocorrida em 2016. Nesse intervalo, tem-se as menores taxas de internação, com a mortalidade zerada de 2014 a 2017. Em contrapartida, verifica-se, desde então, queda na taxas de vacinação, acentuadas a partir de 2019, quando a doença reaparece no Brasil. Concomitantemente, as taxas de internação e mortalidade atingem os valores mais altos registrados. A adesão populacional ao calendário vacinal completo contra o sarampo, essencial ao controle da doença e dos óbitos relacionados, está insuficiente, o que se reflete nas taxas de internações e mortalidade.
Abstract Measles is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population and it can be prevented with 100% effectiveness by vaccination. However, the disease remains active in throughout Brazil. The scope of this article is to evaluate the population's adherence to vaccination and the potential connection with hospitalizations and mortality in relation to measles in Brazil. This is an ecological study based on secondary data on mortality and hospitalizations due to measles and vaccination coverage against the disease in Brazil from 2013 to 2022. The peak of adherence to the measles vaccination schedule occurred in the 3 years that preceded the eradication of the disease in the country, which occurred in 2016. In this interval, there are the lowest hospitalization rates, with zero mortality from 2014 to 2017. On the other hand, there has been a marked drop in vaccination rates since 2019, when the disease resurfaced in Brazil. Concomitantly, hospitalization and mortality rates reach the highest recorded values. Population adherence to the complete measles vaccination schedule, which is essential to control the disease and related deaths, is insufficient, which is reflected in hospitalization and mortality rates.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage among the female population aged 10 to 14 years, living in the state of Goiás, Brazil, between 2014 and 2022. Methods: This was an ecological time series study using data from the Brazilian National Health System Information Technology Department (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde - DATASUS); the annual vaccination coverage rate was calculated based on the number of second doses administered; the trend of the rates was analyzed using the Prais-Winsten model. Results: A total of 407,217 second doses of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine were administered to the female population aged 10-14 years, with annual vaccination coverage rates ranging from 12.3% (2019) to 30.0% (2015), and an annual percentage change (APC) of 0.7% (95%CI 0.9; 0.2; p-value = 0.030). Conclusion: In Góias state, the quadrivalent HPV vaccine coverage rate was below the national target (80%), showing a stationary trend in the time series.

Abstract Introduction : The COVID-19 vaccine became an effec tive instrument to prevent severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. However, 5% of vaccinated patients will have moderate or severe disease. Objective: to compare mortality and days between the symptom onset to the peak disease severity, in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated COVID-19 hos pitalized patients. Methods : Retrospective observational study in 36 hospitals in Argentina. COVID-19 adults admitted to general wards between January 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022 were included. Days between symptoms onset to peak of severity were compared between vaccinated vs. unvaccinated patients with Cox regression, adjusted by Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Results in patients with one and two doses were also compared. Results : A total of 3663 patients were included (3001 [81.9%] unvaccinated and 662 [18%] vaccinated). Time from symptom onset to peak severity was 7 days (IQR 4-12) vs. 7 days (IQR 4-11) in unvaccinated and vacci nated. In crude Cox regression analysis and matched population, no significant differences were observed. Regarding mortality, a Risk Ratio (RR) of 1.51 (IC95% 1.29-1.77) was observed in vaccinated patients, but in the PSM cohort, the RR was 0.73 (IC95% 0.60-0.88). RR in patients with one COVID-19 vaccine dose in PSM adjusted population was 0.7 (IC95% 0.45-1.03), and with two doses 0.6 (IC95% 0.46-0.79). Discussion : The time elapsed between the onset of COVID-19 symptoms to the highest severity was simi lar in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. However, hospitalized vaccinated patients had a lower risk of mortality than unvaccinated patients.
Resumen Introducción : A pesar de la eficacia de la vacuna contra el COVID-19 el 5% de los pacientes vacunados presentaran una enfermedad moderada o grave. El ob jetivo del presente estudio fue comparar los días entre el inicio de los síntomas y la gravedad máxima de la enfermedad, en pacientes con COVID-19 vacunados vs. no vacunados. Métodos : Estudio observacional retrospectivo en 36 hospitales de Argentina. Se incluyeron adultos con CO VID-19 hospitalizados entre el 1/01/2021 y 31/5/2022. Se recolectaron datos demográficos, comorbilidades y progresión clínica de la enfermedad. Se compararon los días entre el inicio de los síntomas y el pico de gravedad entre vacunados y no vacunados mediante regresión de Cox, ajustada por emparejamiento por Propensity Score Matching (PSM). En un análisis de subgrupos, se compararon los resultados en pacientes con una y dos dosis de vacuna. Resultados : Se incluyeron 3663 pacientes (3001 [81.9%] no vacunados y 662 [18%] vacunados). El tiempo transcurrido desde el inicio de los síntomas hasta el pico de gravedad fue de 7 días (IQR 4 - 12) en no vacunados, y de 7 días (IQR 4-11) en vacunados. Tanto en el análisis de regresión de Cox crudo como en el ajustado, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos (HR ajustado 1.08 [IC 95% 0.82-1.4; p = 0.56]). En cuanto a la mortalidad, el Riesgo Relativo (RR) fue 1.51 (IC95% 1.29-1.77) en los pacientes vacunados, pero en la cohorte ajustada por Propensity Score, el RR fue de 0.73 (IC95% 0.60-0.88). El RR en el grupo con una dosis de vacuna COVID-19 en el análisis PSM fue 0.7 (IC95% 0.45-1.03), y con dos dosis 0.6 (IC95% 0.46-0.79). Discusión : El tiempo entre el inicio de los síntomas de COVID-19 y el pico de severidad fue igual en vacu nados y no vacunados. Sin embargo, los pacientes va cunados hospitalizados presentaron menor mortalidad tras el ajuste por confundidores.

Resumo O ensaio teórico discute as controvérsias sobre o desenvolvimento da vacina contra a zika, evidenciando as negociações que envolvem as escolhas técnico-científicas e os efeitos da definição do "perfil do produto alvo da vacina" (TPP) para uso somente no cenário emergencial. São propostas três perspectivas de análise em diálogo com os Estudos Sociais da Ciência: os fluxos de estabelecimento de normativas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), as narrativas publicadas em revistas especializadas e de um grupo de entrevistados. Concluímos que os termos de definição do TPP ajudaram a constituir a política ontológica da OMS, implicando: exposição, responsabilização e culpabilização de mulheres pela prevenção da síndrome congênita da zika; instituição de certas estratégias de vacinação; invisibilização de outros cenários possíveis; maior espaço de aceitação de determinadas plataformas; ampliação das desigualdades globais. Tal política ontológica engendrou uma potente racionalidade emergencial que distinguiu a vacina da necessidade social da vacinação, empurrando a última para a invisibilidade.
Abstract The theoretical essay discusses the controversies about the zika vaccine development, highlighting negotiations which involve technical-scientific choices and the effects of defining the Vaccine Target Product Profile (TPP) for use only in the emergency scenario. Three perspectives of analysis are presented aligned with the Social Studies of Science: the flows of normative establishment provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the narratives published in specialized journals and the discuss of a group of interviewees. We conclude that the definition terms of TPP supported the establishment of the WHO ontological policy, implying in exposure, accountability and culpability of women for the prevention of Congenital Zika Syndrome; definition of certain vaccination strategies; making other possible scenarios invisible; greater acceptance of certain platforms; widening global inequalities. Such an ontological policy engendered a potent emergency rationality that distinguished the vaccine from the social need for vaccination, pushing the second one towards invisibility.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the vaccination coverage and abandonment rates among children under two years old in Brazil, from 2015 to 2021. Methods: A time-series ecological study. The dependent variables of the research were "vaccination coverage" and "abandonment rate", both assessed by Brazilian region. The data were extracted in July 2022 from the Information System of the National Immunization Program. The Prais-Winsten technique was used for the trend analysis, with the aid of the STATA 16.0 software. Results: The mean vaccination coverage in Brazil was 76.96%, with a decreasing trend during the period (Annual Percent Change=-5.12; confidence interval — CI95% -7.81; -2.34); in 2015, the rate was 88.85% and it dropped to 62.35% in 2021. In turn, the overall abandonment rate was 24.00% in 2015 and 9.01% in 2021, with a mean of 10.48% and a stationary trend (Annual Percentage Change=-9.54; CI95% -22.92; 6.12). In 2021, all the vaccines presented coverage values below 74.00% in the country. Conclusions: The vaccination coverage rate trend among children under two years old was stationary or decreasing for all the immunobiologicals in all Brazilian regions, with the exception of yellow fever in the South and Southeast regions. There was an increase in the abandonment rate trend for the Meningococcal C vaccine in the country and, specifically in relation to the regions, for BCG in the North, Northeast, and Midwest and for Meningococcal C in the North and Northeast.
RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a tendência das taxas de cobertura e abandono vacinal em menores de dois anos no Brasil, no período de 2015 a 2021. Métodos: Estudo ecológico de séries temporais. As variáveis dependentes da pesquisa foram a cobertura vacinal e a taxa de abandono, avaliadas por região brasileira. Os dados foram extraídos do Sistema de Informação do Programa Nacional de Imunizações em julho de 2022. Para a análise de tendência, empregou-se a técnica de Prais-Winsten com o auxílio do software STATA 16.0. Resultados: Identificou-se que a média de cobertura vacinal no Brasil foi de 76,96%, com tendência decrescente no período (variação percentual anual=-5,12; intervalo de confiança de 95% — IC95% -7,81; -2,34). Em 2015 a taxa foi de 88,85%, caindo para 62,35% em 2021. A taxa geral de abandono, por sua vez, foi de 24,00% em 2015 para 9,01% em 2021, sendo a taxa média de 10,48% e a tendência estacionária (variação percentual anual=-9,54; IC95% -22,92; 6,12). Em 2021, todas as vacinas tiveram cobertura abaixo de 74,00% no país. Conclusões: A tendência da taxa de cobertura vacinal de crianças menores de dois anos mostrou-se estacionária ou decrescente para todos os imunobiológicos em todas as regiões brasileiras, com exceção da febre amarela nas Regiões Sul e Sudeste. Houve aumento da tendência da taxa de abandono da vacina Meningo C no país e, especificamente em relação às regiões, para BCG no norte, nordeste e centro-oeste e Meningo C no norte e nordeste.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of the state action-research project on vaccination coverage in children under two years of age in the state of Minas Gerais, according to the size of the municipalities, comparing the years 2021 and 2022. Methods: This is a study nested within the state action-research project, a before-after community clinical trial carried out in 212 municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais. This study used secondary data on Vaccination Coverage (VC), Homogeneity of Vaccines (HVC) and Abandonment rate of multi-dose vaccines. After classifying municipalities by size and vaccination coverage rates were equitably classified, an analysis of secondary data on 12 immunobiologicals indicated for the age group in question and their abandonment rate of multi-dose vaccines was carried out. Results: There was an increase in the proportion of municipalities classified as small that reached the vaccination coverage target set by the National Immunization Program (PNI) after the action-research project was carried out. There was an increase in the proportion of small municipalities classified as having a low abandonment rate for the rotavirus vaccine, in the adequate homogeneity of vaccination coverage and in the classification of risk as very low risk and low and medium risk, all with a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: There was an influence of municipal size on the effectiveness of the actions applied to increase vaccination coverage, explaining that proposing individualized actions for each municipality is essential to improve vaccination coverage.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto do projeto estadual de pesquisa-ação nas coberturas vacinais em crianças menores de dois anos no estado de Minas Gerais, segundo o porte dos municípios, comparando os anos de 2021 e 2022. Métodos: Estudo aninhado ao projeto estadual de pesquisa-ação, um ensaio clínico comunitário, do tipo antes-depois, realizado em 212 municípios do estado de Minas Gerais. Utilizou-se, neste estudo, dados secundários de Cobertura Vacinal (CV), Homogeneidade das Vacinas (HCV) e Proporção de Abandono (PA). Após a classificação de municípios por porte, e as taxas de cobertura vacinal serem classificadas de maneira equânime, foi realizada uma análise de dados secundários de 12 imunobiológicos indicados para a faixa etária em questão e de suas PAs. Resultados: Observou-se aumento na proporção de municípios classificados como de pequeno porte que atingiram a meta da cobertura vacinal estabelecida pelo Programa Nacional de Imunização (PNI), após a realização do projeto de pesquisa-ação. Houve aumento na proporção de municípios de pequeno porte classificados como de baixa PA para a vacina Rotavírus, na homogeneidade adequada da CV e na classificação de risco para risco muito baixo e risco baixo e médio, todos com diferença estatisticamente significativa. Conclusão: Houve influência do porte municipal na efetividade das ações aplicadas para aumento de cobertura vacinal, explicitando que a proposição de ações individualizadas para cada município é imprescindível para melhorar a cobertura vacinal.

Objective: to identify factors associated with adherence to the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. Method: cross-sectional and analytical study with 348 postpartum women in shared accommodation at the Municipal Maternities of Recife-PE. Data was collected through interviews during the months of June to September 2022. Pearson's Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests and the Poisson regression model were applied for statistical analysis. Results: 17.2% of pregnant women adhered to the complete vaccination schedule, and adherence was associated with access to the internet/TV/radio (p-value = 0.011), routine prenatal vaccination (p-value = 0.019), safety of the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and partner support (p-value = 0.020). Postpartum women without access to the internet/TV/radio, and who feel confident about the effectiveness of the vaccine, had higher prevalence rates for adhering to COVID-19 vaccination, with PRs of 2.56 and 3.25, respectively. Conclusion: there was evidence of low adherence to the vaccination schedule against COVID-19 during the gestational period, considering the number of recommended doses and the interval between them. Therefore, professionals in their clinical practice must make pregnant women aware of the importance of immunization and compliance with the vaccination schedule.
Objetivo: identificar factores asociados con la adherencia a la vacuna contra la COVID-19 durante el embarazo. Método: estudio transversal y analítico con 348 puérperas en alojamiento compartido en Maternidades Municipales de Recife-PE. Los datos fueron recolectados por medio de entrevistas durante los meses de junio a septiembre de 2022. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicaron las pruebas Chi-Cuadrado de Pearson o Exacta de Fisher y el modelo de regresión de Poisson. Resultados: el 17,2% de las gestantes cumplió con el esquema completo de vacunación, y la adherencia se asoció con el acceso a internet/televisión/radio (p-valor = 0,011), la vacunación prenatal de rutina (p-valor = 0,019), la seguridad con relación a la eficacia de la vacuna contra la COVID-19 y el apoyo de la pareja (p-valor = 0,020). Las mujeres puérperas sin acceso a internet/televisión/radio, y que se sienten seguras de la eficacia de la vacuna, tuvieron tasas de prevalencia más altas de adherencia a la vacunación contra la COVID-19, con RP de 2,56 y 3,25, respectivamente. Conclusión: se evidenció baja adherencia al esquema de vacunación contra la COVID-19 durante el período gestacional, considerándose el número de dosis recomendadas y el intervalo entre ellas. Por ello, los profesionales en su práctica clínica deben concienciar a las mujeres embarazadas sobre la importancia de la inmunización y del cumplimiento del esquema vacunal.
Objetivo: identificar os fatores associados à adesão da vacina contra a covid-19 no período gestacional. Método: estudo transversal e analítico com 348 puérperas em alojamentos conjuntos das Maternidades Municipais de Recife-PE. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas durante os meses de junho a setembro de 2022. Aplicou-se para a análise estatística o teste Qui-Quadrado de Pearson ou Exato de Fisher e o modelo de regressão de Poisson. Resultados: 17,2% das gestantes aderiram ao esquema completo de vacinação, e a adesão estava associada ao acesso à internet/TV/rádio (p-valor = 0,011), à vacinação de rotina no pré-natal (p-valor = 0,019), à segurança da eficácia da vacina contra a covid-19 e ao apoio do companheiro/parceria (p-valor = 0,020). As puérperas sem acesso à internet/TV/rádio, e que se sentem seguras com relação à eficácia da vacina, apresentaram maiores prevalências para adesão à vacinação da COVID-19, com RP de 2,56 e 3,25, respectivamente. Conclusão: evidenciou-se uma baixa adesão ao esquema vacinal contra a covid-19 no período gestacional, considerando-se o número de doses recomendadas e o intervalo entre as mesmas. Dessa maneira, os profissionais em sua prática clínica devem conscientizar as gestantes da importância da imunização e do cumprimento do esquema vacinal.

RESUMO Objetivo. Avaliar a implementação de estratégia do "Plano de Ação: Estratégia de Vacinação nas Fronteiras - Agenda 2022" do Ministério da Saúde nas 33 cidades gêmeas e avaliar o incremento das coberturas vacinais (CV) brasileiras. Métodos. Ensaio clínico comunitário, do tipo antes e depois. Analisou-se a realização da estratégia, bem como comparadas as CV pré e pós-intervenção em dois tempos: P1 (pré-intervenção) e P2 (pós-intervenção). Análises estatísticas sobre a CV, no P1 e P2, foram calculados os valores de média entres os municípios, desvio padrão e diferença entre as coberturas dos dois períodos. Resultados. Observou-se integração entre as equipes de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), Vigilância, Imunização e Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena (DSEI), porém com dificuldades, como aquelas inerentes ao fluxo migratório. Ressalta-se que o fluxo imigratório é um dos desafios no contexto da imunização, APS e DSEI, entretanto, a esta dificuldade soma-se a polarização entre os serviços (imunização, APS e DISEI), ocasionando um desafio para a integração dos setores. Em relação à análise das CV, após a realização das oficinas, foram totalizadas 50 977 doses aplicadas na população geral nas 33 cidades-gêmeas do Brasil. Houve incremento das coberturas vacinais de crianças de até um ano de idade nos locais avaliados após a intervenção, o que pode ser importante para aumentar as CV no Brasil. Conclusão. Houve incremento das coberturas vacinais das crianças até um ano de idade nos locais avaliados após a intervenção e isso influenciou no aumento das CV no Brasil.
ABSTRACT Objective. Evaluate the implementation of the Ministry of Health's "Action Plan: Border Vaccination Strategy - Agenda 2022" in the Brazil's 33 twin cities and evaluate the increase in the country's vaccination coverage (VC). Methodology. Pre-post community clinical trial. Implementation of the strategy was analyzed, and pre- and post-intervention VC were compared in two stages: P1 (pre-intervention) and P2 (post-intervention). Based on statistical analyses of P1 and P2 coverage, calculations were made of municipal averages, standard deviation, and difference in VC between the two periods. Results. Integration was observed between the primary health care (PHC), surveillance, immunization, and special indigenous health district (DSEI) teams, although there were difficulties, for example, in relation to migratory flows. While immigration flows present challenges in the areas of immunization, PHC, and DSEI, the difficulties are compounded by the polarization of these services, which hinders intersectoral integration. After carrying out the workshops, a total of 50 977 doses were administered in the general population in the 33 twin cities. There was an increase in vaccination coverage in children up to 1 year of age in the locations evaluated after the intervention, which may be relevant in terms of increasing VC in Brazil. Conclusion. There was an increase in vaccination coverage in children up to 1 year of age in the locations evaluated after the intervention, helping to increase VC in Brazil.
RESUMEN Objetivo. Evaluar la aplicación de la Estrategia de Vacunación en las Fronteras - Agenda 2022, que forma parte del Plan de Acción del Ministerio de Salud en las 33 ciudades hermanas y evaluar el aumento de las tasas de cobertura de vacunación en Brasil. Métodos. Ensayo clínico comunitario realizado antes y después de la intervención correspondiente. Se analizó la aplicación de la estrategia y se compararon las tasas de cobertura de vacunación antes y después de la intervención en dos periodos: P1 (pre-intervención) y P2 (post-intervención). En los análisis estadísticos de la tasa de cobertura de vacunación en P1 y P2 se calcularon los valores de media y desviación estándar de los municipios y la diferencia entre las tasas de cobertura de los dos periodos. Resultados. Se observó una integración entre los equipos de Atención Primaria de Salud, Vigilancia, Inmunización y el Distrito Especial de Salud Indígena (DISEI), pero con dificultades, como las inherentes al flujo migratorio. Cabe destacar que el flujo migratorio es uno de los desafíos en el contexto de la inmunización, la atención primaria de salud y el DISEI, dificultad que se ve agravada por la polarización entre los servicios (inmunización, atención primaria de salud y el DISEI), lo que supone un reto para la integración de los sectores. Por lo que respecta al análisis de las tasas de cobertura de vacunación llevado a cabo después de realizar los talleres, se administró un total de 50 977 dosis a la población general en las 33 ciudades hermanas de Brasil. Hubo un aumento de las tasas de cobertura de vacunación de menores de hasta un año de edad en los lugares evaluados después de la intervención, lo que puede ser importante para aumentar las tasas de cobertura de Brasil. Conclusión. Después de la intervención hubo un aumento de las tasas de cobertura de vacunación de menores de hasta un año de edad en los lugares evaluados, lo cual influyó en el incremento de las tasas de cobertura de Brasil.
