Les vaccins les plus répandus à Sétif

Abstract

A survey was conducted in the wilaya of Sétif to evaluate vaccine coverage through three health structures: the EPSP of Sétif, the EPSP of Ain El Kebira, and the school health service. The study focused on several recommended vaccines, notably those against hepatitis B (HBV), rabies, meningitis, diphtheria-tetanus (DT), inactivated poliomyelitis (IPV), and tuberculosis (BCG). The results show marked regional heterogeneity depending on the structures and vaccines. The HBV, DT, and anti-rabies vaccines were evaluated in the three health structures; the lowest rates were recorded at the EPSP of Sétif (HBV 6%, DT 11%, anti-rabies 16%, whereas in Ain El Kebira, the rates were higher HBV 14%, DT 56%, anti-rabies 30%). In school health, DT coverage was almost complete 99% in primary and middle school, 98% in high school, while BCG coverage reached 60%. The meningitis 29% and IPV 38% vaccines were only measured at the EPSP of Sétif.
