ABSTRACT Objective: identify adherence to patient safety recommendations in the vaccination room. Method: this is a cross-sectional study that analyzed 463 vaccination procedures in six vaccination rooms in Minas Gerais from June to July 2018. Data were obtained with the application of the Patient Safety Checklist for Vaccination Rooms through systematic observation of the vaccination procedure. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: 463 vaccination procedures were observed, and the mean overall adherence score was 58.5%, min. 43.3% and max. 74.1%. The items of higher adherence were related to the records of vaccine data (name, date, and batch) on the vaccination card; vaccine application with dose, route of administration, location and correct materials; and records in an information system. The items of lower adherence were related to health guidance; investigation of adverse events following immunization and the health status of the vaccinated person; records of vaccine laboratory and vaccination center on the vaccination card; vaccine workforce handwashing; and proper vaccine preparation. Conclusion: the mean overall score found in this study was 58.5% for the adherence to recommendations for vaccination procedures. This result highlights the need for educational interventions that promote patient safety in the vaccination room and studies analyzing the factors that prevent such adherence.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the sociodemographic characteristics, functional capacity and vaccination status of older adults, and to verify the factors associated with the incomplete vaccination status and the absence of the vaccination card. Method: Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted with older adults living in the city of Uberaba (MG). The following analyzes were carried out: descriptive, bivariate and multinomial logistic regression (p<0.05). Results: A total of 576 older adults participated. Most of them were women, in the 70-80 age group, with partner, low education and income, living with someone, independent in basic activities of daily living and with partial dependence on instrumental activities. The highest percentage was for older adults who had incomplete vaccination status, especially regarding the absence of immunization for Hepatitis B. Individual monthly income < 1 minimum wage (p=0.002) and single-person housing arrangement (p=0.010) were associated with the incomplete vaccination status, and the absence of the vaccination card, with the lowest level of education (p=0.039). Conclusion: Low income and education, as well as living alone, are factors associated with inadequate vaccination status among older adults in the community. The need for primary care nurses to develop strategies to increase vaccination coverage among older adults with these characteristics is emphasized.

Maternal Recall

Health surveys conducted in low- and middle-income countries typically estimate childhood vaccination status based on written vaccination cards, maternal recall (when cards are not available), or a combination of both. This analysis aimed to assess the accuracy of maternal recall of a child’s vaccination status in Ethiopia. Data came from a 2016 cross-sectional study conducted in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ (SNNP) Region of Ethiopia. Vaccine doses received by a given 12–23-month-old child were recorded from both a vaccination card and based on maternal recall and then compared. Concordance, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and Cohen’s Kappa were calculated. Estimates of full immunization coverage were similar when collected via vaccination card (75%) and maternal recall (74%). For fully vaccinated children, comparison of maternal recall versus vaccination card showed high concordance (96%), sensitivity (97%), specificity (93%), PPV (98%), NPV (92%), and Kappa (90%). Accuracy of maternal recall of a child’s vaccination status is high in the SNNP region of Ethiopia. Although determination of vaccination status via vaccination card is preferred since it constitutes a written record, maternal recall can also be used with confidence when vaccination cards are not available.
