THE DISPOSAL OF NEEDLES AND SYRINGES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN THE IRANDUBA HEALTH SYSTEM
-
Descrição
-
This paper aimed to develop evidence-based guidelines to make the disposal of syringes and
needles, applied in vaccinations against Covid 19 safer and healthier in the UBS of the Health
System of the Municipality of Iranduba, located in urban areas and non-riparian units. Thus, this
research was based on a thorough process of observation, exclusively in the area of performance
of the health management of the aforementioned municipality. The development process was
carried out from an observational analysis, where the discarding of health supplies used in
vaccinations against covid-019 in the year 2021 were realilized. In addition, a literature review
was also performed for each of these steps. At the end of this arduous research, it was
conclusively perceived the erroneous and harmful way in which the disposal of such solid waste
was made, because these materials, soon after their use, were placed in a collection box, together
with other sanitary inputs, perhaps the latter with the possibility of reuse or recycling, which
would bring enormous risks to the workers of the UBS before the imminent probability of
infection of covid-9.
