SOSA-PENALVER, Isis de las Mercedes et al. Biological risk perception in the production process of classical swine fever vaccine. Vaccimonitor [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp. 68-74.  Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 1025-0298.

The existence of high-risk biological agents such as the classical swine fever virus for the production of veterinary vaccines, among others of equal importance for our country and the region in general, justifies good management of biological safety, since ignorance of the risk on part of the personnel who work in them, can cause contamination with serious consequences both at personal and environmental level, causing fatal accidents. The objective of the research was to carry out an analysis of the perception of existing risk in the personnel responsible for the production process of the vaccine against classical swine fever. The application of RISKPERCEP in the classical swine fever vaccine production facility showed as results the behavior of different variables that make evident the high underestimation of the existing risk in the evaluated personnel and that there is a need to deepen the training in biosafety to all staff working in the process. Finally, these issues and their importance to improve the quality of production in these processes are related, as well as to increase knowledge about biological risk at all levels.

Keywords : vaccines; risk management; classical swine fever virus.
