BENGOCHEA-CARDENAS, Miriel et al. Risk perception in the avian vaccine production process. Vaccimonitor [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp. 75-82.  Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 1025-0298.

The importance of infectious bursal disease virus and fowl pox virus for Cuban poultry farming, as well as the production of vaccines to control the diseases caused by these biological agents, justifies the need for establishment of a good Biosafety management; since the ignorance of the dangers and risks on the part of the personnel that works in them can cause accidents with undesirable consequences for the product, escapes of these microorganisms during their production processes and the consequent contamination of the environment. The objective of the research was to carry out an analysis of the perception of risk in the personnel responsible for the production process of two avian vaccines. The RISKPERCEP software was used in an avian vaccine production facility; its application showed variables that demonstrated underestimation of the risk by the exposed personnel and variables with a tendency to overestimate; fundamentally associated with the incorrect design of the facility. Finally, it is proposed that biosafety update courses be given and that all aspects of the laboratory design that can be solved are taken into account.

Palabras clave : vaccines; risk management; infectious bursal disease virus; fowl pox virus.
