Abstract

 Brazil has an extensive endemic area to Sylvatic Yellow Fever (SYF), where annually cases of disease occurs in non-vaccinated individuals that have contact with natural cycle. In Northwest region of São Paulo State (SPS), the immunization against Yellow Fever (YF) is recommended as routine, once that has sporadic Virus circulation in the region. Between February and April of 2009 the SPS registered 25 cases of SYF, in five cities located on YF non-recommended immunization area. Buri city was the last city included, being important make a Vaccine Coverage survey and analyze the possible occurrence of related adverse vaccine events. The expected prevalence of light pos-vaccination symptoms is very variable, existing few reference studies. A semi-structured questioner was applied, in Urban and Rural Zones (UZ and RZ) of Buri city, in April 26-29 of 2009. In UZ was used a Simple Random Sample of 218 individuals. In RZ it was sampled 256 individuals who live in seven reference neighborhoods. The Vaccine Coverage was 94,9% in UZ and 98,4% in RZ, being inferior to Minister of Health recommendation (100%). It was observed a prevalence of at least one pos-vaccination symptom of 38,6% in UZ and 36,9% in RZ. The prevalence of the symptoms: fever (UZ = 15,6% and RZ = 14,3%), headache (UZ = 20,6% and RZ = 27,0%) and myalgia (UZ = 26,1% and RZ = 24,6%) were higher than expected. It was observed high prevalence of diarrhea (UZ = 6,9% and RZ = 12,3%) and vomit (UZ = 3,2% and RZ = 10,7%), considered non-expected symptoms. Thus it's important to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms as possible adverse events pos-vaccination with the 17DD YF vaccine and make more studies about light pos-vaccination events with the YF vaccine in different populations, in real situations.
