CASOS DE DENGUE EM GOIÁS E A IMPORTÂNCIA DA COBERTURA VACINAL

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dengue vaccination in the state of Goiás, considering the public situation, the impacts that the virus had on confirmed cases, and the effective vaccination coverage in the age groups prioritized by the Unified Health System (SUS. This is an integrative review of the literature, based on publications from journals such as Pubmed and Scielo, articles available on Google Scholar, and official bulletins from the Public Ministry from 2020-2025, selecting articles with information relevant to the topic addressed. The results and discussions indicate that between 2021-2025, the state of Goiás presented data with high case incidences, with constant peaks during rainy periods, andshowed a reduction in cases with the start of the Qdenga and Dengvaxia vaccines and the implementation of methods from the Action Plan to reduce the impacts of arboviruses. Despite significant advances, vaccination coverage remains insufficient to ensure collective immunization of the entire population, affected by factors such as misinformation and low population adherence. It is concluded that strengthening educational actions, epidemiological surveillance, and environmental control associated with expanding vaccination is extremely essential for reducing mortality and ensuring sustainable control of dengue cases in the state of Goiás.
