Prevalence of vaccination in adults with HIV infection followed at hospital of clinics - Unicamp.

Resumo

The access to medical assistance and prevention measures increased HIV/AIDS patients survival in Brazil. Vaccination may avoid infections that can lead to severe outcomes in immunodepressed patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of immunizations indicated by the Ministry of Health, in the patients followed at the HIV/AIDS Outpatient Clinic of Hospital of Clinics - Unicamp. We analyzed 340 medical and immunization records of patients who attended the consultation in 2016. The variables studied were socio-demographic epidemiological, and clinical. Vaccination records showed an average of 50.5% coverage of Pneumo 23v, Diphtheria-Tetanus (51.6%), Hepatitis B (54.2%), Hepatitis A (7.5%), Influenza (42.9%), Meningoid C (44.9%) vaccines. Lack of information about vaccination was higher among young (<39 years) male patients, last CD4 <350 cells/ul. Higher prevalences of incomplete schemes were also identified primarily with the vaccine Meningoid C and Influenza. Although patients may have received vaccine in other health services, lack of information in the medical records can compromise the integral care to the patients.
