Cobertura vacinal está relacionada à menor mortalidade por doenças respiratórias

Abstract: As infecções respiratórias constituem um conjunto de doenças comumente relacionadas aos idosos, considerando que o vírus da influenza é um dos principais agentes etiológicos. A vacinação desses indivíduos é considerada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde como a mais efetiva estratégia para a redução da morbimortalidade pela doença. O Brasil tem buscado nesses últimos anos, como meta vacinar 80% da população alvo. Este estudo objetivou relacionar a cobertura vacinal da influenza e a taxa de mortalidade por doença… Show more

“…Brazil has invested heavily in the implementation of annual influenza vaccination campaigns since 1999. According to data from the National Immunization Program (PNI), the coverage reached by these campaigns is on target, but heterogeneities need to be investigated, since prevalence studies report unsatisfactory adherence levels 1,2 while others have identified a trend towards the growth of antivaccine movements in the country 3 .…”

“…Several studies show that the lack of knowledge about immunobiologicals among young people implies in the decrease of vaccine coverage, which increases the vulnerability of these individuals to immunopreventable diseases. 5,[11][12][13][14][15] In this regard, it is emphasized that individuals of other age groups, such as pregnant women and the elderly, [16][17] generally have high levels of vaccination coverage, diverging from what happens with adolescents, and the deficit of knowledge about immunobiologicals on the part of young people represents an important factor that can interfere with this process.…”

“…The Brazilian literature reports the relationship between influenza vaccination and morbidity and mortality rates. A study in 496 municipalities (counties) in the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul found that in municipalities that reach the target for influenza vaccination coverage, the mortality rate from respiratory tract diseases was significantly lower 31 . Another study in the South of Brazil identified a reduction in hospitalizations in the first quarter of the year and an increase in the third trimester, revealing the impact of seasonality on influenza-related diseases.…”
