A arte do farmacêutico clínico: avaliando a oferta de vacinação em farmácias no Distrito Federal

Abstract

Thanks to massive immunization in the Brazilian population, diseases considered public health problems have been eradicated. According to Law No. 13.021 / 14, pharmacies are allowed to serve the population with the vaccination service. To ensure the quality of this service, ANVISA approved RDC No. 197/17, which defines the minimum requirements for the operation of the human vaccination service. The objective of this study is to measure the number of pharmacies in the Federal District that perform this service. Unstructured interviews with pharmacy owners and the pharmacist were used as a data collection tool. For the population, a semi-structured questionnaire was used. It was found that the minority of owners have no interest in offering the service yet. Minority parties did not interpret properly and most of them have knowledge of the subject and a vision of growth as entrepreneurs. Already the population unaware of this service showed interest in using it. Confidence in the pharmacist shows how important the professional is in effectively monitoring clinical conditions. The recent reinforcement in the implementation of these services is an attempt to rescue the clinical relationship of basic care. With this exercise, the pharmacist presents himself as a protagonist in the health care of the population and not only as a drug delivery, and the offer of vaccination may be part of this change.
