Administrative Data Linkage in Brazil: Potentials for Health Technology Assessment

“…SI-PNI enables quantitative analysis of vaccination coverage by vaccine type, doses given, and dropout rate throughout the country by age group, time, and geographical area (Assis Moura et al, 2018). Within SI-PNI, it is also possible to perform monthly follow-up of vaccination activities regarding the quantity of distributed and applied doses, coverage, and adverse events post-vaccination (EAPV).…”

Atuação de equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família frente à epidemia de sarampo em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil

“…Differently to what happened in the state of Ceará, a study conducted in the state of Pará about the measles outbreak found that the high rates of vaccination coverage achieved through routine vaccination or previous campaigns contributed to containing the outbreak in that region, given that few doses were administered during the outbreak and lockdowns and intensified actions were targeted. 9 After 20 weeks of the epidemic, in September 2015, the state of Ceará declared that measles virus transmission had been interrupted. It is important to note that, in the state as a whole, the majority of the population aged between 6 months and 29 years old had not been vaccinated against measles.…”

“…1 The reemergence of the epidemic points to the continuing challenge of promoting (i) epidemiological surveillance that is receptive to and adequate for detecting suspected cases, (ii) active tracing by health teams of suspected and/or confirmed cases at silent health units, and (iii) awareness raising of public and private health service workers with regard to compulsory notification being obligatory. 9 In recent years the National Immunization Program has made considerable progress, including with its Information System. This system enables the vaccines administered to each individual to be recorded, as well as their origin, thus permitting more trustworthy assessment of this information, as well as aiding vaccination coverage estimates, the impact of which can go beyond the administrative sphere.…”

“…Their success will depend on the efforts of all people, not just the Health sector but also society in general, the support of which has shown itself to be crucial for elimination measles in Brazil and in the Region of the Americas. 9 Standing out among what has been presented here is the competent and responsible involvement of those who work in Family Health Strategy teams, essential for the development, organization and implementation of plans founded on the definition of objectives and action strategies that are both complex and rapid in preventing and controlling epidemics, such as measles for instance. Joint responsibility and community involvement, together with institutional support and commitment in putting these strategies into place are essential for their success.…”
