Analysis of immunization errors in pregnant women

Abstract

Objective: To analyze immunization errors in pregnant women from Minas Gerais, according to the absence and presence of Adverse Events Following Immunization. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with data on immunization errors in pregnant women, between 2015 and 2019, registered in the Information System for the Surveillance of Adverse Events, in Minas Gerais. The trend of the incidence rate of immunization error per 100,000 doses applied was checked using Prais-Winsten models. Results: Of all notifications, 3.72% were vaccination errors with adverse events following immunization. The highest proportion of immunization errors with no adverse events (32.40%) was in the macro-region Centro and, with adverse events (27.78%), in Triângulo do Sul, both with a stationary trend in the period. Regarding the incidence rate, the macro-region with the highest immunization errors with no adverse events was Vale do Aço and the macro-region with the highest incidence rate of immunization errors with adverse events was Triângulo do Sul. Conclusion: In this study, the notifications of Adverse Events Following Immunization resulting from vaccination errors with and without adverse events occurred with no significant trend within the years of the study.

Análise da cobertura vacinal em crianças menores de dois anos em um município da Baixada Maranhense no período de 2017-2019

A partir da imunização completa, doenças de alta morbidade e mortalidade são controladas ou erradicadas, mostrando importância dos programas de imunização (Silva et al, 2021).…”

Prevalence and underreporting of immunization errors in childhood vaccination: results of a household survey

“…Most of studies already carried out in Brazil, on the prevalence/incidence of immunization errors, used reports registered in the secondary database of the Adverse Events Following Immunization Information System (SIEAPV – Sistema de Informação de Eventos Adversos Pós - Vacinação ) of the Brazilian National Immunization Program (PNI – Programa Nacional de Imunizações ) ( 2 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 ) and, for this reason, may not demonstrate the reality faced in health services. These reports point to lack of quality of information recorded in investigation forms, typing errors, incomplete fields and underreporting ( 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 ) .…”
