“…The most relevant centers are Fundação Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), founded in 1900 in Rio de Janeiro, and Instituto Butantan, founded in 1901 in São Paulo. They were the government's answer to bursts of bubonic plague that occurred in 1889 (Cukierman, 1998). These two institutes are responsible for most of the national production of vaccines and to significant advances, including novel production processes and new types of vaccines, made for Brazilian conditions.…”

In this paper, the universal access to vaccines in Brazil is discussed from an Operations Research (OR) point of view. A classic military model -the Weapon-Target Assignment (WTA) problem -is converted to a humanitarian one, where the objective is to maximize the coverage of the vaccines in the population instead of to destroy military assets. There is an enormous space for OR techniques in the whole healthcare system, as most of the planning is still hand-made, and drawn by professionals with medical background only. In addition, the healthcare data systems open new possibilities to data mining and statistical analysis. There is still a shortage of permanent programs to analyze and use this kind of statistical information for public planning. There are initiatives from the academia and public entities in this direction. In our research, the proposed model was tested with data from an original WTA problem.Keywords: nonlinear programming; vaccination; public healthcare; mathematical programming. ResumoNeste trabalho, a universalização do acesso às vacinas no Brasil é discutida sob a ótica da Pesquisa Operacional (PO). Um modelo militar clássico -o problema de Alocação Arma-Alvo (WTA) -é transformado em um modelo com fins humanitários, cujo objetivo é maximizar a cobertura da distribuição de vacinas na população ao invés de maximizar a destruição de alvos militares. Pode-se afirmar que há um grande espaço para o uso de técnicas de PO no sistema de saúde, pois seu planejamento ainda é feito, em geral, de forma manual por profissionais de formação exclusivamente médica. Além disso, o armazenamento digital de dados do sistema público de saúde abre novas possibilidades para a mineração de dados e análise estatística, ainda que, salvo raras iniciativas acadêmicas ou públicas, haja poucos programas permanentes para fomentar a análise estatística em dados de saúde como subsídio para o planejamento público. Em nossa pesquisa, o modelo proposto foi testado com dados de um problema WTA da literatura.Palavras-chave: programação não-linear; vacinação; saúde pública; programação matemática.

Plague is one of mankind's greatest scourges, which has swept away millions of people over the centuries. The first available record of the occurrence of this calamity, in humans, is from the Bible, in 1000 bc, in the city of Ashdod. The first definitely identified pandemic originated in Egypt in ad 542 (the Justinian Plague) and is estimated to have caused 100 million deaths. The second one, lasting for three centuries and claiming over 25 million lives appeared in 1334 in China spreading to many spots on the globe. The third pandemic occurred in Europe from the fifteenth to eighteenth century. The current pandemic began around 1860, in the Chinese province Yunnan; it reached Hong Kong in 1894 killing 100 000 individuals. Within 20 years the disease spread from southern Chinese ports throughout the world resulting in more than 10 million deaths. Since the discovery of the causative agent in 1894, there have been remarkable advancements in immunoprophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis. However, the disease is still active in Africa, in Asia and in Americas and has been classified as a currently re-emerging disease. A 'Plague-free World' will probably remain a dream for an indefinite period.

Analisa um debate trazido a público pelo Jornal do Commercio , entre agosto e setembro de 1899, envolvendo duas autoridades sanitárias, Nuno de Andrade, diretor-geral de Saúde Pública, e Jorge Pinto, diretor de Higiene e Assistência Pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. No cerne da questão as medidas tomadas pelo governo federal para evitar a chegada da peste bubônica ao Brasil, a partir de uma epidemia existente na cidade do Porto, Portugal. O referencial teórico para a análise foi a noção de campo de Pierre Bourdieu e os estudos sobre controvérsia científica de Bruno Latour.
