Immunobiological preparations are
thermolabile, requiring refrigeration from the production
laboratory until their administration. This study aimed to
quantify and identify the causes of avoidable losses of
immunobiological preparations in Paraná state, for the
period 2009 to 2012. This was a quantitative, retrospective,
exploratory study, in which data were obtained using the
database of the Information System for the Calculation
of Immunobiological Preparations Used of Paraná. Total
losses of immunobiological preparations due to avoidable
causes were 3,437,552 doses, with 95% of the losses
being vaccines of the basic vaccination program. Failures
that occurred in the organization of the service and/or
the nursing work process can be identified, as the losses
were considered preventable. The nurse is the manager
of immunization activities, therefore, it is imperative to
update this professional through training and continuing
education for an effective service in the control of vaccinepreventable
diseases.
