- Spontaneous reporting of adverse events following pandemic influenza A (H1N1) immunization in a reference center in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil(2013) OLIVEIRA, Danise Senna; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; LUIZ, Andre Machado; MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; LOPES, Marta HeloisaIntroduction: This paper describes adverse events (AEs) temporally associated to the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) vaccine observed in a reference center in So Paulo, Brazil, during a 2010 mass vaccination campaign. Methods: A retrospective study involving persons who sought medical care for AEs following influenza vaccination. Data were retrieved from medical records, vaccine AE notification forms, and a computerized system for immunobiological registration. Results: Sixty-six vaccinees sought medical care for AEs after immunization. The most frequent AEs were fever, headache, myalgia, and pain at the injection site. No serious AEs were reported. Conclusions: Few vaccinees spontaneously reported AEs to influenza A (H1N1) vaccine at this center.
- Low tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine coverage among healthcare workers in a quaternary university hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil: need for continuous surveillance and implementation of active strategies(2019) RANDI, Bruno Azevedo; MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; INFANTE, Vanessa; RODRIGUES, Camila Cristina Martines; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamIntroduction: Vaccination with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) has been recommended for healthcare workers (HCWs) by Brazilian Ministry of Health since November 2014. Objective: To describe the strategies implemented to improve Tdap uptake, cumulative vaccine coverage after each intervention, variables associated to Tdap vaccination, and reasons for non-vaccination among HCWs of the main building of a quaternary hospital attached to the Sao Paulo University Medical School. Methods: A list of HCWs eligible for pertussis vaccination was generated. From April to December 2015, the following interventions were implemented: note on intern journal reminding the importance of pertussis vaccination; email to the head nurses strengthening vaccine recommendations; lectures on pertussis and Tdap for physicians of Obstetrics and Neonatology Clinics; on-site vaccination by mobile teams at the Obstetrics, Neonatology, and Anesthesiology Clinics. Vaccine coverage was accessed at the end of each month. Multivariate Poisson regression model with a robust error variance was used to evaluate variables associated with Tdap vaccination. Reasons for non-vaccination were evaluated from January to May 2017 through phone calls for HCWs who had not received Tdap. Results: The study included 456 HCWs. After the interventions, Tdap coverage raised from 2.8% to 41.2%. In the multivariate analysis, occupation (physician), working place (obstetrics or anesthesiology) and influenza vaccination in 2015 were independently associated to Tdap vaccination. The main reason for non-vaccination was unawareness of Tdap recommendations. Conclusions: Tdap uptake among HCWs was low in our hospital. Providing vaccination at convenient places/times for HCW seems to be the most efficient strategy to increase vaccine uptake. (C) 2019 Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia.
- Adverse events following immunization of elderly with COVID-19 inactivated virus vaccine (CoronaVac) in Southeastern Brazil: an active surveillance study(2022) MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; ITTO, Lucas Yuji Umesaki; JACINTHO, Lucas Caue; SALES, Amanda Caroline Ribeiro; HIRATSUKA, Marcel; LEONEL, Fabio Campos; HIGA-TANIGUCHI, Keila Tomoko; PICONE, Camila Melo; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; RODRIGUES, Camila Cristina Martini; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamHealthcare workers, the elderly and other vulnerable populations were the first to receive COVID-19 vaccines in public health programs. There were few vaccine safety data available on the elderly. This observational study aimed to evaluate the inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) safety in the elderly, at the beginning of the vaccination program, in Sao Paulo city, Brazil. The elderly people that received CoronaVac at the Reference Center for Special Immunobiologicals (CRIE) or at home, administered by the Interdisciplinary Home Care Team (NADI) of the Hospital das Clinicas were invited to participate in this phase 4 observational study. The vaccination schedule included two CoronaVac doses 28 days apart. The information on solicited and unsolicited adverse events following immunization were collected by phone calls on days 4 and 8 after each vaccine dose. We enrolled 158 adults aged 65 to 101 years (mean of 84.1 years); 63.9% were females and 95.6% had chronic conditions, 21.5% had moderate or severe impairment in daily living activities; 34.2% were pre-frail and 19.6% were frail. We were able to contact 95.6% and 91.6% of the vaccinated people, after the first and second doses, respectively; 31.8% and 23.4% of the contacted participants reported some adverse events (AE) following the first and second doses, respectively. Pain at the injection site, fatigue, myalgia and headaches were the most frequent solicited AE. Most AE were mild to moderate. There were eight severe adverse events, but none of them were considered related to the vaccine. The CoronaVac was safe and well tolerated by these adults of advanced age with frailty and comorbidities.
- Adverse events following yellow fever vaccination in immunocompromised persons(2021) LARA, Amanda Nazareth; MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamThis observational retrospective study conducted during an yellow fever (YF) outbreak in Sao Paulo. Brazil, in 2017-2018, describes adverse events (AE) following YF vaccination of immunocompromised persons. Risks and benefits of vaccination were individually evaluated by physicians. AE were assessed by phone call or electronic mail, 14 to 90 days after vaccination. Three hundred and eighty one immunocompromised persons received a full-dose of YF vaccine. Their age ranged from 1.4 to 89.3 years (median 50.8 years); 53% were women; 178 (46.7%) had chronic kidney disease, 78 (205%) had immune-mediated inflammatory diseases; 94 (24.7%) were using or had recently used immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory drugs. All of them denied previous YF vaccination. We were able to contact 341 (89.5%) vaccinees: 233 (68.3%) of them received the YF vaccine from BioManguinhos and 108 (31.7%) received the vaccine from Sanofi-Pasteur; 130 (38.1%) vaccinees received other vaccines (up to 4) simultaneously with the the YF vaccine, mostly hepatitis B (59 vaccinees), pneumococcal polysaccharide 23-valent (46). influenza (43) and diphtheria-tetanus (dT, 41). One hundred and eleven vaccinees (32.6%) reported at least one AE: 79 (23.2%) presented systemic AE, 44 (12.9%) had local AE and 12 had both, local and systemic AE. The most common AE was pain at the injection site (41 persons, 12%), myalgia (34; 10%). fever (25; 7.3%) and headache (16; 4.7%). There was no statistically significant difference on the AE frequency according to the vaccine producer. There were four severe AE: one hospitalization and three deaths, considered not related to the YF vaccine.
- Measles, mumps and rubella vaccine 12 months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(2023) RANDI, Bruno Azevedo; FERNANDES, Eder Gatti; HIGASHINO, Hermes Ryoiti; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; ROCHA, Vanderson Geraldo; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamThe measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is usually recommended from 24 months after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Some authors have demonstrated that the MMR vaccination can be safe from 12 months post-HSCT in non-immunosuppressed patients, as recommended by the Brazilian National Immunization Program/Ministry of Health, since 2006. The objectives of this study were to evaluate when patients received MMR vaccine after an HSCT in our care service and if there were reports of any side effects. We retrospectively reviewed the records of HSCT recipients who received at least one MMR dose in our care service, a quaternary teaching hospital in Sao Paulo city, Brazil, from 2017 to 2021. We identified 82 patients: 75.6% (90.1% in the autologous group and 45.1% in the allogeneic group) were vaccinated before 23 months post-transplantation. None reported side effects following the vaccination. Our data support that the MMR vaccination is safe from 12 to 23 months after HSCT.
- Hepatitis B revaccination for healthcare workers who are anti-HBs-negative after receiving a primary vaccination series(2012) LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; SOUZA, Tatiany Viviany Goncalves; MASCHERETTI, Melissa; CHAVES, Tania do Socorro SouzaIntroduction: This study aimed to evaluate the response to hepatitis B (HB) revaccination of healthcare workers (HCW) who are negative for antibodies to HB surface antigen (anti-HBs) after a complete vaccination series. Methods: HCW whose anti-HBs test was performed > 90 days after a HB vaccination course were given a 4th dose. A post-vaccination test was done within 30 to 90 days. Results: One hundred and seventy HCW were enrolled: 126 (74.1%) were anti-HBs-positive after the 4th dose. Conclusions: Rechecking anti-HBs after the 4th HB vaccine dose is a practical approach in case of post-vaccination tests performed > 90 days after the full vaccination course.
- Avaliação da rede de frio para conservação de vacinas em unidades básicas de saúde das regiões Sul e Centro-Oeste do município de São Paulo em 2011-2012(2016) RAGLIONE, Dante; BEZERRA, Gustavo Antônio Marcolongo; LOPES, Marta Heloísa; NERGER, Maria Lígia Bacciotte Ramos; GUIMARÃES, Tereza Cristina; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamAbstract OBJECTIVE: to assess the cold chain capacity, health workers' immunobiological product conservation knowledge and practices in Primary Healthcare Centers (PHC) in São Paulo city, Brazil. METHODS: this descriptive study included 24 randomly selected PHC in the South and Midwest regions of the city; between December 2011 and July 2012, we interviewed the health workers on their vaccine conservation knowledge/practice and observed the local infrastructure, using a form developed for this project; we assigned points to items of the form and classified each PHC as sufficient, regular or insufficient. RESULTS: most of the 24 PHC evaluated were administered by Social Organizations; all of them had vaccine storage chambers; 5 PHC reported using their maximum storage capacity; 9 PHC were classified as having sufficient knowledge/practice and 15 as having regular knowledge/practice. CONCLUSION: in these PHC, cold chain utilization was close to its maximum capacity; many health workers did not have basic knowledge about vaccine conservation.
- Prevalence and titers of yellow fever virus neutralizing antibodies in previously vaccinated adults(2017) MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; AVELINO-SILVA, Vivian Iida; SIMOES, Marisol; FREIRE, Marcos da Silva; MEDEIROS, Carlos Roberto de; BRAGA, Patricia Emilia; NEVES, Maria Angelica Acala; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; KALLAS, Esper Georges; SARTORI, Ana Marli ChristovamIntroduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends one single dose of the Yellow Fever (YF) vaccine based on studies of antibody persistency in healthy adults. We assessed the prevalence and titers of YF virus neutralizing antibodies in previously vaccinated persons aged >= 60 years, in comparison to younger adults. We also evaluated the correlation between antibody titers and the time since vaccination among participants who received one vaccine dose, and the seropositivity among participants vaccinated prior to or within the past 10 years. Methods: previously vaccinated healthy persons aged >= 18 years were included. YF virus neutralizing antibody titers were determined by means of the 50% Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test. Results: 46 persons aged >= 60 years and 48 persons aged 18 to 59 years were enrolled. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of YF virus neutralizing antibodies between the two groups (p = 0.263). However, titers were significantly lower in the elderly (p = 0.022). There was no correlation between YF virus neutralizing antibody titers and the time since vaccination. There was no significant difference in seropositivity among participants vaccinated prior to or within the past 10 years. Conclusions: the clinical relevance of the observed difference in YF virus neutralizing antibody titers between the two groups is not clear.

- Prospective cohort studies to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2013, 2014, and 2015 seasonal influenza vaccines produced by Instituto Butantan(2018) MONDINI, Gabriella; BRAGA, Patricia Emilia; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; INFANTE, Vanessa; RANDI, Bruno Azevedo; TIMENETSKY, Maria do Carmo Sampaio Tavares; FERREIRA, Juliana Caires de Oliveira Achili; SAKITA, Neusa Keico; PRECIOSO, Alexander RobertoAnnual vaccination is the most effective way to prevent seasonal influenza illness. Instituto Butantan (IB) performed clinical studies with its 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasonal trivalent influenza vaccines (inactivated split-virion). Prospective cohort studies were carried out to describe the safety and immunogenicity of Instituto Butantan influenza vaccines, in healthy adults and elderly, from 2013 to 2015. Immediately after the informed consent was signed, participants underwent blood collection followed by vaccination. On study days 1, 2 and 3 post-vaccination participants were contacted by the staff to evaluate the occurrence of solicited (local and systemic) and non-solicited adverse reactions. On study day 21 (+7) subjects returned to the clinical site for final safety assessments and blood collection to evaluate post-vaccination immunogenicity. The immunogenicity analyses were performed by means of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay. The immunogenicity endpoints were: seroprotection (SPR) and seroconversion (SCR) rates and the geometric mean HI antibody titer ratio (GMTR). The 2013 study was conducted at the Centro de Referencia para Imunobiologicos Especiais (CRIE) and at the Centro de Pesquisa Clinica do Instituto da Crianca, Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo while the 2014 and 2015 studies were conducted at CRIE. The vaccine composition followed the WHO recommendation for the Southern hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccine. Fortyseven healthy adults and 13 elderly participated in the 2013 study, 60 healthy adults and 60 elderly in the 2014 study, and 62 healthy adults and 57 elderly in the 2015 study. In the 2013, 2014 and 2015 studies, pain was the most frequent local adverse reaction and headache the most frequent systemic adverse reaction. All observed adverse reactions were classified as mild or moderate and none as severe. SPR > 70% and SPR > 60% were observed in adults and elderly, respectively, for the three vaccine viruses, in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 studies. SCR > 40% was observed in adults, for the three vaccine viruses, only in the 2014 study and SCR > 30% was observed in the elderly, for the three vaccine viruses, only in the 2013 and 2014 studies. GMTR > 2.5 among adults, for the three vaccine viruses was only observed in the 2013 study and GMTR > 2.0 was observed among elderly, for the three vaccine viruses, in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 studies. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasonal influenza vaccines produced by Instituto Butantan were safe and immunogenic according to the immunogenicity criteria defined by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
