RESUMEN
Fundamentos. El personal asistencial puede ser transmisor de la gripe a los pacientes en los centros sanitarios, por ello, su vacunación es considerada una medida preventiva de primer orden. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la cobertura de vacunación contra la gripe estacional en los profesionales sanitarios en dos departamentos de salud de la Comunidad Valenciana (Torrevieja y Elx-Crevillent), en las temporadas 2011-12, 2012-13 y 2013-14. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal para determinar las coberturas de vacunación antigripal través del Registro Vacunal Nominal (RVN) de la Conselleria de Sanitad de la Generalitat Valenciana. Los servicios con mayor riesgo de contagio se detectaron a través de las solicitudes de análisis de PCR en pacientes sospechosos de gripe durante la temporada 2013-14. Resultados. Se estudiaron 2.035 profesionales sanitarios que alcanzaron una cobertura vacunal media del 27,2% en la temporada 2013-14, mostrando una tendencia ascendente desde la temporada 2011-12. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre categorías profesionales, presentando los facultativos las coberturas más bajas. Se registraron un total de 192 peticiones de PCR en ambos departamentos, siendo los servicios que concentran un mayor número de solicitudes Medicina Interna (n=100), Urgencias (n=37), UCI (n=25) y Pediatría (n=154); la cobertura vacunal antigripal de estos servicios en la temporada 2013-14 fue de un 27,0%, 32,3%, 34,3% y 25,3% respectivamente. Conclusiones. Aunque muestran una tendencia ascendente, las coberturas vacunales son bajas en el personal asistencial. El personal de enfermería es el mejor vacunado. Convendría implementar estrategias de inmunización dirigidas específicamente a los servicios que por su actividad presentan un mayor riesgo para el paciente
ABSTRACT
Background. Health care workers can transmit influenza to patients in health centers, therefore its vaccination is considered a preventive measure first order. The objective of this study was to know the coverage of vaccination against seasonal influenza in health professionals in two health departments of the Valencian Community (Torrevieja and Elx- Crevillent), in the seasons 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14. Methods. TA cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out to determine the coverage of influenza vaccination through the Nominal Vaccine Registry (NVR) of the Conselleria de Sanitat de la Generalitat Valenciana. The services with the highest risk of contagion were detected through requests for PCR analysis in patients suspected of influenza during the 2013-14 season. Results. A total of 2035 health professionals were surveyed who achieved an average vaccination coverage of 27.2% in the 2013-14 season, showing an upward trend from the 2011-12 season. Significant differences were observed between professional categories and, practitioners presented the lowest coverage. A total of 192 PCR requests were recorded in both departments. The services which concentrate a greater number of requests were Internal Medicine (n = 100), urgency service (n = 37), intensive care unit (n = 25) and Pediatrics ( n=154); The influenza vaccination coverage of these services in the 2013-14 seasons was 27.0%, 32.3%, 34.3% and 25.3%, respectively. Conclusions. Although they show an upward trend, vaccination coverage is low in health care personnel. Nurses are the best vaccinated. It would be appropriate to implement immunization strategies aimed specifically at services that, because of their activity, pose a greater risk to the patient
