Children who have not yet been vaccinated against measles and polio, can go to the health clinics on Saturday 18 January when the National Vaccination Campaign D-Day takes place. The goal is to vaccinate 100,000 Santa Catarina children from one to less than five. To do this, all 1,100 vaccination rooms will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., without closure for lunch. Even those who have already been vaccinated should take a new dose.
The national campaign runs until 31 August. The purpose of the mobilization is to immunize at least 95% of the 339,800 children from one to less than five years of the state. But in the first two weeks of mobilization, the state still seems to be below schedule, yielding 32% of vaccine coverage during this period. The figures, collected on Friday at 14:00 in the National Immunization Program information system, show that SC posts vaccinated 28% of the target population. SC Immunization Manager Vanessa Vieira da Silva explains that municipalities can still update the data until Saturday morning, which will change the scenario.
– The secretariat's assessment is that the demand is still below expectations, as we have nine states with outbreaks of measles in the country and 13 cases in Rio Grande do Sul, so we thought the demand for the parents would be very high
One of the main cities of Santa Catarina is the situation more critical in Lages, with coverage of about 11% until Friday afternoon. The highest rates are in Criciúma and Joinville, which are more than 30%. Florianópolis presents 19% for polio and 25% for measles. The focus of the SC Health Department is that cities that do not reach 62% by the end of this Saturday, will hold another D-Day next Saturday. It is also recommended to take other actions, such as active search for children through community agents. health, vaccination in schools and from house to house.
– It is important to remember that anyone who has contact with measles anywhere in the country and gets sick, can transfer the virus to an unvaccinated person and nowadays this transit between states is very fast – enhances the immunization Dive -SC.
