Resumen
Fundamento

En 1994 el Departamento de Sanidad y Seguridad Social (DSSS) inició un programa de vacunación antigripal que dirigió a grupos de alto riesgo de padecer la gripe o sufrir sus complicaciones. Este programa supuso un incremento de la actividad vacunal que hasta esta fecha se desarrollaba básicamente en el ámbito privado y laboral. En este trabajo se presenta la cobertura de la vacunación antigripal en Cataluña así como un estudio para describir la población vacunada.

Material y métodos

El estudio para describir la población vacunada se realizó a partir de una muestra telefónica, representativa de la población total de Cataluña.

Resultados

De la encuesta vacunal se deduce una cobertura poblacional del 24,6 ± 1,4. Un tercio de esta vacunación corre a cargo de las mutualidades laborales y de las farmacias que las dispensan de forma privada. Los dos tercios restantes las proporciona la administración.

Conclusiones

La implantación del programa de vacunación antigripal es capaz de prevenir un importante número de casos en el país, aunque éste es susceptible de ser mejorado. Una mejora de la efectividad del programa se lograría, principalmente, incidiendo sobre la adhesión de los individuos que se niegan a vacunar.

Summary
Background

In 1994, the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) began a program of influenza vaccination aimed at groups with a high risk of suffering influenza and its complications. This program supposed an increase in vaccination activity, which until that time was carried out mainly in private clinics or in the work-place. This study analyses the coverage of influenza vaccination in Catalonia and a description of the vaccinated population.

Material and methods

The study of the vaccinated population was carried out by a telephone sample representative of the total population of Catalonia.

Results

The vaccination survey shows a population coverage of 24.6 ± 1.4. One-third of vaccinations are covered by private health insurance in the workplace and by private prescriptions by chemists. The remaining two-thirds are administered by the public administration.

Conclusion

Implementation of an influenza vaccination program can prevent a substantial number of cases in Catalonia although the results obtained could be improved upon. Greater effectiveness could be achieved mainly by assuring the participation of individuals who refuse vaccination.
