Efetividade da vacina antigripal na época 2010-2011 em Portugal: Resultados do projeto EUROEVA

Abstract: A nualmente o vírus da gripe é responsável por epidemias que afetam as populações humanas, originando infeções respiratórias normalmente benignas mas que podem ter repercussões elevadas na saúde dos indivíduos. Em termos de impacto, estima-se que as epidemias de gripe sejam responsáveis por excessos de consultas em cuidados primários, que podem variar entre 0,4% (Portugal) 1 e 1,4% 2 (Holanda) da população geral.

“…Since 2012/13 season, influenza vaccination has been offered free of charge and without medical prescription to the population aged over 65 years at the National Health System primary care. Despite the variability of influenza vaccine effectiveness in different seasons and against specific virus type/sub-type [7, 8], influenza vaccination of high-risk individuals has also been reported to be a cost-effective way to decrease mortality and morbidity [6, 9–11].…”

“…In Portugal, observational studies in the primary care setting have been implemented using the test-negative design and using a cohort in the community setting. 1,2 Older adults, aged 65 years and over, are an important target of these studies, considering the expected effectiveness of the vaccine in not only reducing the incidence of the infection but also reducing related hospitalisations and even death. 3,4 By using the primary care setting, it was possible to estimate the vaccine protection level against medically attended laboratory-confirmed influenza.…”

“…The reference groups used in I-MOVE studies vary by study site and include the vaccination coverage in the practitioners´ catchment area (e.g. Spain, Scotland, England), the vaccination coverage in a random sample of the population (Portugal [25]) or in the general population (Italy [31]). The Farrington method [38] is used to adjust IVE for age group (Spain, Italy, Portugal, Scotland), risk group (Portugal, Scotland), GP practice (Scotland) and socio-economic status (Scotland).…”
