SUMMARY:
ABSTRACT
Introduction: With the introduction of covid-19 vaccines into Immunization Programs, the
reporting of events supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI) has
become crucial for pharmacovigilance of adverse events. The ESAVI reporting rate is a
performance indicator to assess the progress of passive ESAVI surveillance, adapted to the
specificities of each locality. Objective: To analyze the spatial distribution of ESAVI
notifications resulting from the Covid-19 vaccine in the state of Minas Gerais. Methods:
Initially, ESAVI notification rates were calculated for all municipalities and then for health
macroregions. Spatial scan statistics and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were
performed to identify spatial clusters, compliance with ESAVI surveillance goals, and factors
associated with the spatial distribution of ESAVI notification rates. Results: In Minas Gerais,
clusters with low notification rates or even no notifications regarding ESAVI surveillance for
covid-19 vaccines were observed. Additionally, it was noted that despite all health
macroregions meeting the notification rate goal, 20.3% (n=173) of their municipalities did not
reach this goal. Two major clusters with low notification rates, identified as cold spots, were
highlighted in the Northern macroregion. Clusters with high notification rates, considered hot
spots, included the Northwest, Central, and Northern Triangle macroregions. Two factors were
associated with notification rates: the number of nursing professionals per inhabitant and the
percentage of families residing in rural areas. The distribution of these variables associated with
the ESAVI notification rate appeared heterogeneous throughout the state. Conclusion: The
analysis of the spatial distribution of ESAVI notifications in the state identified silent regions
that did not meet the minimum ESAVI notification value. The presence of clusters with low
notifications indicates the need to implement integrated strategies adapted to the specificities
of each health macroregion to enhance ESAVI surveillance in Minas Gerais. Investments in a
sufficient and qualified nursing professional capacity per inhabitant are essential to increase
ESAVI reporting and, moreover, to implement greater surveillance of these events in families
residing in rural áreas.
