NAVARRO CHUMBES, Gian C.; FERNANDEZ ESCRIBANO, Marina  and  SANCHEZ-ARCILLA CONEJO, Ignacio. Vaccine schedule in new resident physicians from Peru: Ramon y Cajal University Hospital. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2011, vol.57, n.222, pp.23-33. ISSN 1989-7790.

Introduction: In recent years, Spain has been receiving immigrants of all working sectors and health staff is not an exception. When evaluating a vaccine schedule of first year resident physicians, it is important to know where they are arriving from. Objective: Make a review about vaccination in Peru, background and seroprevalence of immunopreventable pathology in Peruvian health staff; and bearing in mind the information, determine a vaccine schedule for first year resident physicians from Peru whose information is not available because they do not have previous vaccination documents. Method and materials: We made a bibliographic review. Results: The information obtained suggests that there is no evidence of correct vaccination in first year resident physicians from Peru. Conclusions: All first year resident physicians from Peru who do not have vaccination documents will be vaccinated as if they were a non vaccinated adult. We will always bear in mind that if there is any document about previous doses, we will continue without beginning or repeating doses.
