Abstract

Descriptive analytical study on scientific production on the vaccination coverage of adolescents in Brazil, using the integrative review method through research in the Pubmed Central, LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences) and ADOLEC databases. The selected sample was 07 articles, which were inferred quali and quantitatively. As a conclusion, it was obtained that there is satisfactory vaccination coverage for adolescents aged 10 to 14 years and reduced percentage for adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. It is concluded that there is a gap in the CV of adolescents due to misinformation or the strategies used by the PNI (National Immunization Program), in this range are not contextualized for this public, and there is a need for deepening effective strategies for the 15 to 19 year old age group.

Highlights

At the end of the 20th century, concern stumpers began with the vaccination coverage of the adolescent public, due to the vaccination goals of the countries’ routine to reach numbers below the 95% vaccination target, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the population aged 10 to 19 years (PAHO, 2012)
Regarding vaccination coverage despite the advance, especially when compared to the 1980s and 1990s, according to Francisco et al (2015), the adolescent public aged 10 to years maintains the high vaccination rates already in the ranges of to 19 years the proportion of abandonment becomes higher for multi-dose vaccines such as Hepatitis B, showing the relevance of the study on the bibliographic production in relation to vaccination coverage of adolescents in Brazil
The articles used in the study were collected from April to May 2016, establishing as a parameter the productions of the years 2011 to 2015, in virtual databases, such as: the bases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Virtual Library in Adolescent Health (ADOLEC) and National Library of Medicine of the United States (Pubmed Central – PMC), addressing for this study the main question: What is the scientific production on the vaccination coverage of adolescents in Brazil?

Summary

INTRODUCTION

At the end of the 20th century, concern stumpers began with the vaccination coverage of the adolescent public, due to the vaccination goals of the countries’ routine to reach numbers below the 95% vaccination target, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the population aged 10 to 19 years (PAHO, 2012). At the age of 40 in 2006, the Brazilian PNI celebrated positive results, because internationally it emerges as an example of successful public policy, due to differentiated vaccination strategies and social mobilization capacity for vaccination support in campaigns and mainly due to the large number of routine vaccination rooms, in addition to the computerization of the registration of vaccinated. Regarding vaccination coverage despite the advance, especially when compared to the 1980s and 1990s, according to Francisco et al (2015), the adolescent public aged 10 to years maintains the high vaccination rates already in the ranges of to 19 years the proportion of abandonment becomes higher for multi-dose vaccines such as Hepatitis B, showing the relevance of the study on the bibliographic production in relation to vaccination coverage of adolescents in Brazil
