Manteniment i nivell de coneixement de la cadena del fred en els centres vacunals de les comarques de Lleida
Abstract
Immunization is one of the most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Adequate maintenance of the cold chain is essential for greater immunization effectiveness and better control of vaccine-preventable diseases. The following article describes a study carried out on all the vaccination centers of Lleida Health Region and Alt Pirineu i Aran Health Region. In this study the level of maintenance and knowledge of the cold chain is described. Adequate maintenance and knowledge of the cold chain is documented – although it can be improved in certain aspects, such as refrigerator’s infrastructure and vaccination centers’ thermometer and temperature monitoring.
