La Red Latinoamericana de Información Científico-Técnica en Vacunas: una alternativa para la región.

Abstract

Vaccines today represent the most widely used immunological intervention in medicine. Despite this, vaccines exist for only 13 of the 28 diseases that need to be developed to address epidemic situations on a global scale. In addition, myths disseminated by non-accredited groups persist. This lack of information—or misinformation—affects the population and the development of new projects in this field. All of this has contributed to the creation of the project titled “Latin American Network for Scientific and Technical Information on Vaccines (Red-CiTeVa).” This network is conceived with a central hub in the Virtual Library on Vaccines and the Virtual Classroom on Vaccinology. Its potential users include specialists working in this field of knowledge, researchers involved in the discovery of new vaccines, and a large part of the health sector workforce. To ensure accessibility, the site will be hosted on Infomed, which will allow its use by hospitals, polyclinics, libraries, and medical universities, among other institutions in Cuba and Latin America. The Virtual Library on Vaccines will not only facilitate access to information but will also offer a series of online services such as expert consultation, project analysis, and others. Las vacunas representan hoy la intervención inmunológica más empleada en medicina. A pesar de ello, sólo existen vacunas para 13 de las 28 enfermedades que requieren desarrollarse con vistas a paliar situaciones de epidemia a escala mundial. Unido a esto, prevalecen mitos, difundidos por grupos no acreditados. Esta falta de información o desinformación afectan a la población y al desarrollo de nuevos proyectos en esta área. Todo ello ha contribuido al desarrollo del proyecto titulado "Red Latinoamericana de Información Científico-Técnica en Vacunas (Red-CiTeVa). Dicha red se concibe con un nodo central en la Biblioteca Virtual en Vacunas y el Aula Virtual en Vacunología. Sus usuarios potenciales son los especialistas que laboran en esta área del conocimiento, los investigadores comprometidos en el descubrimiento de nuevas vacunas y gran parte del personal del sector de la salud. Para asegurar el acceso, el sitio se alojará en Infomed; ello permitirá su uso por parte de hospitales, policlínicos, bibliotecas y universidades médicas, entre otras instituciones en Cuba y Latinoamérica. La Biblioteca Virtual en Vacunas facilitará no sólo el acceso a la información sino que ofrecerá además, una serie de servicios en línea como consulta a expertos, análisis de proyectos, entre otros.
