Proposta para ampliação e monitoramento da cobertura vacinal na equipe de estratégia em saúde da família Carla Nogueira III

Abstract

The Brazil is a world reference when it comes to mass vaccination of the population. This is due to the creation of the National Immunization Program in 1973 after much resistance from society. Currently, although the scientific scenario is much more promising, it is still possible to come across anti-vaccine movements, consequently the vaccine coverage declines and this reflects not only in the non-vaccinated individual, but in the entire population. Therefore, the present study aims to propose strategies for the evaluation, control and expansion of the vaccination coverage of the population served by the team Carla Nogueira III, in Maceió, Alagoas. This is a work in which the literature review was mixed with the implementation of a tool that results in the intervention of a problem that is the deficiency for the follow-up and monitoring of the vaccination of children up to 5 years of age. Therefore, the Municipal Health Plan, data from the Ministry of Health such as DataSUS and SISPNI, as well as databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), Bireme, Scielo and PubMed were used. The keywords were used: vaccines, vaccination coverage and immunization programs. In addition, the work proposes the adoption of electronic spreadsheets for monitoring vaccination coverage in a more precise and specific way. An active search was made for vaccination cards for all children under the age of five, in the same process there was health education to reduce the delay or refusal to vaccinate. Simultaneously, with the use of spreadsheets, the monitoring and follow-up of vaccines has become so efficient that in a given time interval there was a coverage above the goal established by the National Immunization Program, in one of the team's micro areas. It was noticed, therefore, that the information on vaccination coverage is incomplete and nonspecific and with the adoption of electronic spreadsheets it is possible to optimize the flow of information and plan educational actions that are much more effective and assertive.
