The scope and coverage of the Brazilian Immunization Program can be compared with those in developed countries because it provides a large number of vaccines and has a considerable coverage. The increasing complexity of the program brings challenges regarding its development, high coverage levels, access equality, and safety. The Immunization Information System, with nominal data, is an innovative tool that can more accurately monitor these indicators and allows the evaluation of the impact of new vaccination strategies. The main difficulties for such a system are in its implementation process, training of professionals, mastering its use, its constant maintenance needs and ensuring the information contained remain confidential. Therefore, encouraging the development of this tool should be part of public health policies and should also be involved in the three spheres of government as well as the public and private vaccination services.

Abstract Background Countries are transitioning assets and functions from polio eradication to integrated immunization and surveillance activities. We assessed the extent of linkages between and perceptions of National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) and National Certification Committees (NCCs) for polio eradication to understand how linkages can be leveraged to improve efficiencies of these expert bodies. Methods During May 2017 to May 2018, we administered a 15-question survey to a NITAG chair or member and an NCC counterpart in all countries of the WHO Regions for Africa (AFR) and for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMR) that had both a NITAG and an NCC. Data were analysed using frequency distributions. Results Of countries with both a NITAG and an NCC (n = 44), the response rate was 92% (22/24) in AFR and 75% (15/20) in EMR. Some respondents reported being very familiar with the functions of the other technical bodies, 36% (8/22) for NITAG members and 38% (14/37) for NCC members. Over 85% (51/59) of respondents felt it was somewhat useful or very useful to strengthen ties between bodies. Nearly all respondents (98%, 58/59) felt that NCC expertise could inform measles and rubella elimination programmes. Conclusions We observed a broad consensus that human resource assets of NCCs may serve an important technical role to support national immunization policy-making. At this stage of the polio eradication initiative, countries should consider how to integrate the technical expertise of NCC members to reinforce NITAGs and maintain the polio essential functions, beginning in countries that have been polio-free for several years.

In December 2014 the Scientific Center of Children's Health held a regular meeting of the Coordinating Council for the public study of pneumococcal infections and vaccination in Russia. The meeting was devoted to the beginning of the vaccination of children against pneumococcal disease in the National Immunization Schedule (November 2014) and planning approaches to assessing the results of vaccination in the short and long term.

Objetivo: avaliar as salas públicas de vacinação do município de Aracaju conforme o Programa Nacional de Imunização. Metodologia: estudo avaliativo, transversal realizado em 42 unidades públicas de saúde em 2018 por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com abordagens referentes a estrutura, processo. Resultados: todas as salas armazenavam os imunobiológicos em geladeiras domésticas e mais de 60% não mantinham a temperatura adequada da sala; 45% tinham objetos de decoração em suas paredes, 50% das seringas e agulhas de uso diário não estavam acondicionadas adequadamente e 73% não realizavam o tratamento das vacinas compostas com microrganismos vivos antes do descarte e  69% não usavam os cartões controles como forma de monitoramento para realizar busca ativa. Conclusão:  as salas de vacinação apresentam um índice geral regular e que os fatores que interferem no monitoramento dos imunobiológicos precisam ser melhor investigados/avaliados e há uma necessidade crescente do município instituir a prática de avaliação no serviço para um melhor acompanhamento e controle das atividades realizadas, isso permitirá aos gestores uma melhor visualização das potencialidades e fragilidades das salas de vacina sob a sua responsabilidade.Descritores: Pesquisa sobre Serviços de Saúde; Vacinas; Equipe de Enfermagem; Avaliação em Saúde; Centros de Saúde.ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC VACCINATION UNITS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ARACAJU/SEObjective: to evaluate the public vaccination rooms of the municipality of Aracaju according to the National Immunization Program.

AbstractThe Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the U.S. Public Health Service is responsible for making recommendations on the use of new vaccines and periodically revising those for established vaccines. Recommendations for pneumococcal vaccine were first issued in 1978 and revised in 1981. The changes which appear in the revision reflect the continuing maturation of the Committee's judgment on the vaccine and are a good example of the process by which the ACIP develops its recommendations on national immunization practices.

RESUMOObjetivo: buscou-se avaliar a administração de imunobiológicos em salas de vacina de Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família de um município do Nordeste brasileiro. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, investigativo, tipo pesquisa-ação. Coletaram-se os dados por meio da observação sistemática em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família. Utilizaram-se roteiros a partir das recomendações do Manual de Normas e Procedimentos para Vacinação da Política Nacional de Imunização. Apresentaram-se os resultados por meio de tabelas. Resultados: constata-se que, em 57,1% das observações, o profissional não verificou a aparência da solução no frasco dos imunobiológicos e, em 14,3% dos casos, não foi verificado o prazo de validade. Salienta-se que em nenhum dos procedimentos foi realizada a higienização das mãos. Conclusão: percebe-se, com base nas recomendações propostas pela Política Nacional de Imunização, que as práticas envolvidas na administração de imunobiológicos se encontram distantes do que é preconizado. Observaram-se falhas envolvendo as técnicas adequadas de preparo, de armazenamento e de conservação dos imunobiológicos.  Descritores: Manejo; Vacinas; Administração; Atenção Primária à Saúde; Condutas; Erros.ABSTRACTObjective: to evaluate the immunobiological administration in vaccination rooms of the Basic Units of Family Health of a city in the Northeast of Brazil. Method: this is a quantitative, investigative, research-action type. The data were collected through systematic observation in a Basic Family Health Unit. The guidelines used were based on the recommendations of the Manual of Norms and Procedures for Vaccination of the National Immunization Policy. Results were presented by tables. Results: in 57.1% of the observations, the professional did not verify the appearance of the solution in the immunobiological vial and in 14.3% of the cases the expiration date was not verified. In none of the procedures, hand hygiene was performed. Conclusion: Based on the recommendations proposed by the National Immunization Policy, the practices involved in immunobiological administration are far from what is recommended. Failures involving appropriate techniques of immunobiological preparation, storage and preservation have been observed.

After a brief explanation of the immunization policy in the Netherlands, the national immunization program is described, with special attention given to coupling of the municipal population records with a computerized database of individual immunization records at the provincial level. The Dutch program achieves coverage rates greater than 90% for all routine immunizations. Participation in the program is free of charge to every child living in the country up to the age of 13 years, but there is no obligation or requirement to be immunized. Financing of the program is also discussed.
