Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the oral health services offered by the Unified Health System in the northern macro-region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study. Data collection took place between August and September 2020 through the completion of online questionnaires by oral health managers in the northern municipalities of Minas Gerais and by consultation of information available in the Special Epidemiological Bulletin Coronavirus North Macro-region n° 14. After collection, data were transferred to SPSS® (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows, version 24.0). Analyses were performed using frequency, mean, standard deviation and percentages. It was found that all included municipalities suspended elective treatments and maintained emergency dental care at all levels of care. In 62.5% of municipalities there were oral health professionals contaminated by COVID-19. Oral health teams implemented specific interventions to address the pandemic,with the most frequent being tele-orientation (74.7%), use of sanitary barriers (72%), and telemonitoring (68%). At the beginning of the pandemic, 62.5% of municipalities lacked personal protective equipment. Comsidering these results, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the supply of dental services in northern Minas Gerais due to the suspension of elective care, contamination of professionals, lack of personal protective equipment, and development of new interventions. Thus, oral health teams had to adapt to new contexts of health interventionsto face COVID-19 and maintain dental care services.

Resumo Introdução A verificação da imunização pós-vacinação contra a hepatite B é um procedimento simples, que oferece segurança ao trabalhador e deve ser uma ação rotineira entre trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Porém, ainda há uma carência de discussões acerca desse tema, de notável relevância. Objetivou-se investigar a prevalência de verificação da imunização pós-vacinação contra hepatite B entre trabalhadores da Atenção Primária à Saúde e sua associação com fatores ocupacionais, condições gerais de saúde e medidas de autocuidado. Métodos Estudo transversal analítico. Avaliou-se amostra de 400 trabalhadores, com confiança e precisão de 95%, entre agosto e dezembro de 2011, em cidade do norte de Minas Gerais. Foram realizadas análises bivariadas e regressão de Poisson, no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versão 17.0. Resultados Dos 400 trabalhadores vacinados, 25,8% verificaram a imunização pós-vacinação contra hepatite B. Os fatores associados à verificação foram função na equipe, regime de trabalho, contato com material biológico e satisfação com o trabalho (p<0,05). Constatou-se menor prevalência entre trabalhadores contratados e com menor escolaridade (p<0,05). Conclusão A verificação da imunização não se configurou como rotina e foi menor entre trabalhadores contratados e com menor formação, evidenciando negligência com a saúde ocupacional.

Abstract Introduction The verification of immunization following Hepatitis B vaccination is a simple procedure that offers security to the worker and should be a routine action among Primary Health Care workers. However, there is still a lack of discussions on this subject of remarkable relevance. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of verification of immunization after vaccination against hepatitis B among workers of Primary Health Care and their association with occupational factors, overall health and self-care measures. Methods a cross-sectional study evaluating a sample of 400 workers, with confidence and precision of 95%, between August and December 2011, in the northern city of Minas Gerais. Bivariate analysis and Poisson regression were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 17.0. Results We observed immunity in 25.8% of the 400 workers vaccinated for hepatitis B. Factors associated with the verification were related to the team, working arrangements, contact with biological material and job satisfaction (p<0.05). We found lower prevalence among contract workers and lower education (p<0.05). Conclusion the verification of immunization is not set as routine, we observed a lower rate among contract workers with less training, showing neglect of occupational health.
