Resumen
AMARAL, Gabriela Gonçalves et al. Adequacy assessment of immunobiological agent conservation in the Western Health macro-region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil: a descriptive study, 2017. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.3, e20201017. Epub 23-Ago-2021. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742021000300019.
Objective:
To describe the adequacy of immunobiological agent conservation in vaccination rooms in the municipalities of the Western health macro-region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methods:
This was a descriptive study, based on a validated scale, with a maximum score of 15 points. A descriptive analysis and an association test between the scores obtained by the municipalities and variables of the external context were performed.
Results:
275 out of a total of 295 existing vaccination rooms were evaluated. Immunobiological agent conservation in the West macro-region obtained an average score of 4 points (standard score, 0 to 15). There was a poor availability of immunization supplies aimed at immunobiological agent conservation, and work processes, that require improvement. Small municipalities presented better immunobiological agent conservation (p=0.011).
Conclusion:
Immunobiological agent conservation in vaccination rooms in the Western health macro-region of Minas Gerais State was considered inadequate.
