| description |
Vaccine hesitancy, a delay in acceptance or the rejection of vaccines, even when they are available (a definition by the World Health Organization, WHO), is a global and dynamic problem that requires surveillance. Argentina has one of the largest immunization schedules in the world. However, it is estimated that the vaccine coverage is lower than recommended, and different aspects regarding hesitancy may be underlying this scenario. Therefore, our objective was to study the public confidence in vaccines in a rural area of Córdoba, Argentina: Villa Yacanto, Calamuchita.
A cross-sectional, observational study was accomplished, which was approved by the Ethics Committee of the National Hospital of Clinics, Córdoba (REPIS N° 3411). Convenience non-probabilistic sampling. The survey was carried out using a standard questionnaire designed by the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE), validated in situ (2018/2019). Participants: adults residents at Villa Yacanto. Data were analyzed using Infostat.
A total of 171 adults were surveyed, aged 18 to 72 years old (median 38); 73% (124/171) female; 83% (142/171) with children. Of those, 88% (151/171) of respondents believe that vaccines can protect children from serious illnesses, but 19% (33/171) think that only some parents vaccinate their children with all the recommended vaccines and 28% (48/171) said they had doubts / distrust about getting themselves vaccinating or getting their children vaccinated and 12% (21/171) rejected an indicated vaccine. The most controversial vaccines are anti-HPV and anti-Flu. Also, 46% (79/171) received or heard negative information about vaccines and of them 23% (18/79) changed their mind about getting themselves vaccinated or their children. In addition, 19% do not think that all vaccines are effective, 16% is not aware of the fact that getting vaccinated is important for others in the community, 24% consider that not all vaccines are beneficial, 21% believe that new vaccines carry more risks, 20% expressed not trusting the information that is received from health authorities, 36% are concerned about adverse effects and 30% do not believe that children still need vaccines for diseases that are no longer common. The reported percentage of complete immunization card in adults is 77% (132/171) and for children it is 85% (121/142).
The results evidence that current public confidence in vaccines is threatened in the community studied, so delivering the population with quality information should be reinforced. |

La reticencia a las vacunas, demora en su aceptación o rechazo aun estando disponibles (OMS), es un problema global y dinámico que requiere vigilancia. La Argentina cuenta con uno de los calendarios de inmunizaciones más amplios del mundo. Sin embargo, se estima que las coberturas son inferiores a las recomendadas, pudiendo subyacer diferentes aspectos referentes a la reticencia. Por ello, nuestro objetivo fue estudiar la percepción/confianza pública en las vacunas en Villa Yacanto de Calamuchita, Córdoba. Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal, autorizado por CIEIS Hospital Nacional de Clínicas (REPIS Nº 3411). Muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas. Se realizó una encuesta estándar diseñada por el Grupo de Expertos Asesor de la OMS (SAGE), validada in situ, a mayores de edad residentes en Villa Yacanto. Los datos fueron analizados mediante Infostat. Se encuestaron 171 adultos, de 18 a 72 años (mediana 38); 73%(124/171) de sexo femenino; 83%(142/171) con hijos. El 88%(151/171) de los encuestados cree que las vacunas pueden proteger a los niños de enfermedades graves, pero 19%(33/171) piensa que sólo algunos padres vacunan a sus hijos con todas las recomendadas. El 28%(48/171) manifestó haber tenido dudas/desconfianza acerca de vacunarse/vacunar a sus hijos y 12%(21/171) rechazó alguna vacuna indicada. Las más cuestionadas son las vacunas contra HPV e influenza. El 46%(79/171) recibió/oyó información negativa sobre las vacunas y de ellos 23%(18/79) cambió de opinión acerca de vacunarse/vacunar a sus hijos. Además, 19% no piensa que todas las vacunas son efectivas, 16% no opina que vacunarse es importante para la comunidad, 24% no considera que todas las vacunas son beneficiosas, 21% cree que las nuevas vacunas conllevan más riesgos, 20% no confía en la información que recibe de las autoridades sanitarias, a 36% le preocupan los efectos adversos y 30% no cree que los niños aun necesitan vacunas para enfermedades que ya no son comunes. El porcentaje de carnet de inmunizaciones reportados completos en adultos es del 77%(132/171) y para los hijos es del 85%(121/142). Los resultados muestran que la confianza pública en las vacunas se encuentra amenazada, por lo que se debería reforzar la llegada de información de calidad a la población. Universidad Nacional Cba.
