ABSTRACT
Abstract: Objective: To describe HPV vaccine program implementation, monitoring and evaluation experiences in Latin America. Materials and methods: We reviewed published articles in peer-reviewed journals and reports from government websites, as well as the PAHO/WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting form and the ICO/IARC HPV Information Centre database. Results: By December 2016, 13 countries/territories in Latin America (56%) have introduced HPV vaccines. The majority have done so in the past three years, targeting 10-12 year old girls with a two dose schedule, through school programs. Vaccine coverage ranges from 30 to 87%. Safety monitoring is well established, but monitoring vaccine impact is not, and data are not available. Conclusions: Although Latin America is the most advanced developing region with HPV vaccine introduction, systems for its monitoring are weak and there is a paucity of consistently available coverage data for this vaccine. Challenges remain to introduce HPV vaccines in several countries, to achieve high coverage, and to strengthen monitoring, evaluation and reporting.
RESUMEN
Resumen: Objetivo: Describir las experiencias con la implementación, monitoreo y evaluación de programas de vacunación contra VPH en América Latina. Material y métodos: Revisamos datos publicados en revistas, informes gubernamentales, así como los informes de monitoreo de programas de inmunizaciones de la OPS/OMS/UNICEF y del centro de información del VPH del ICO/IARC. Resultados: Hasta diciembre de 2016, 13 países/territorios en América Latina (56%) han introducido vacunas contra VPH. La mayoría lo han hecho en los últimos tres años, apuntando a niñas de 10 a 12 años con un calendario de dos dosis, a través de programas escolares. La cobertura de vacunas varía entre 30 y 87%. La vigilancia de la seguridad está bien establecida, pero el monitoreo del impacto de la vacuna no, y los datos no están disponibles. Conclusiones: Aunque América Latina es la región en desarrollo más avanzada en la introducción de la vacuna contra VPH, los sistemas para su monitoreo son débiles y hay una escasez de datos de cobertura disponibles. Sigue habiendo desafíos para introducir vacunas contra VPH en varios países, para lograr una alta cobertura y para fortalecer el monitoreo, la evaluación y la presentación de informes.
