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 adequately or regularly maintained and checked, respectively. However, when control of temperature was checked, only 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 continually evaluated so that the quality of the vaccines that will be used is not affected.
首次访查四年后,再次对17个公共卫生单位进行访查,并根据巴西免疫规划推荐的储存标准进行评估。在所有单位中,冰箱以及疫苗在冰箱内的合适存放位置分别得到了充分或定期的维护及检查。然而,在检查温度控制情况时,只有64.7%的单位具备合适的储存条件。在94.1%的单位中,卫生工作者抱怨在紧急情况下缺乏即时的技术支持。在55.2%的单位中,疫苗样本的效价低于推荐的最低效价。有必要持续评估与冷链相关的因素,以免影响即将使用的疫苗质量。
