Abstract
Four years after the first visit seventeen public health units were visited again and evaluated as to standards of storage recommended by the Brazilian Immunization Programme. In 100% of the units, refrigerators and proper inside location of vaccines in the refrigerator were adequatety or regularfy maintained and checked, respectively. However, when control of temperature was checked, onfy 64.7% presented adequate storage conditions. In 94.1 % of the units, health workers complained of lack of immediate technical support in emergency situations. In 55.2 % the titers vaccine samples of were under the minimal recommended potency. It is necessary that the factors concerning the cold chain be continualfy evaluated so that the quality of the vaccines that will be used is not affected.
Quatro anos após a primeira visita, dezessete Unidades Sanitárias do Município de Niterói - RJ foram visitadas novamente e reavaliadas de acordo com as normas técnicas específicas estabelecidas pelo Programa Nacional de Imunização. Constatou-se que em 100% das Unidades visitadas os cuidados com os refrigeradores e a arrumação das vacinas no interior dos aparelhos eram adequados ou regulares mas quanto ao controle de temperatura dos refrigeradores este percentual caía para 64,7%. De todos os itens avaliados, o mais problemático foi o apoio técnico imediato frente a situações de emergência, considerado insuficiente em 94,1% dos casos. Em 55,2% das amostras vacinais recolhidas das unidades sanitárias, os títulos estavam abaixo da potência mínima preconizada para tal produto no momento da aplicação. Verifica-se, deste modo, a necessidade de uma contínua avaliação dos fatores que intervém na cadeia de frio evitando-se, assim, que seja comprometida a qualidade das vacinas a serem utilizadas.
