Avaliação da relação entre a cobertura vacinal contra o HPV em um estado do Brasil com outros indicadores de saúde

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the situation of HPV vaccination and the indicators related to cervical cancer. Methods: The present study is a retrospective descriptive study carried out in the state of Maranhao from 2014 to 2019 with the female populations that are the target of the vaccination campaign. Populations in other ages were also evaluated in order to correlate the historical series for some indicators. For the tabulation, we use the Health Information Systems: SIS-PNI, SIH-SUS, IBGE, SISCAN consistent on the DATASUS website. Results: The state of Maranhao over the years has not met the targets, which include vaccinating 80% of the target population, the situation is worse when the administration of the second dose of the vaccine was observed. This situation is clearly expressed in the fact that the status of colposcopic examinations, hospital expenses and the number of women hospitalized for procedures related to the radical treatment of cervical cancer are not changed. Conclusion: the present study corroborates the findings of other studies that show that the ineffectiveness of vaccination results in the non-modification of the epidemiological situation.
