Abstract:

Evaluative study the quality of vaccine storage in Primary Healthcare Centers – PHC in the mid-west area of the state of Minas Gerais. Dimensions, structures and processes were the criteria used to measure quality grades in 261 vaccine rooms distributed over 55 municipalities in the area. Quality grades were defined by means of a scoring system, with different weighted scores attributed to indicators for each dimension being rated. Categories for quality grades were then defined as: “adequate”, “inadequate” and “critical”. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to verify the correlation between quality grade and population size and adherence to the UHS. It was observed that vaccine storage quality grades are inadequate in 59.3% of these centers, and critical in 26.9%. Small-sized municipalities qualified for Full Basic Healthcare Management aggregated the worst vaccine rooms. Vaccine storage supervision, which spans a series of activities present in nursing praxis, indicates the need to train human resources, monitor and assess work processes and conduct new studies in the field.
