Background:

the availability of Cuban vaccine candidates in the fight against COVID-19 made it possible to carry out health interventions in risk groups and territories. In order to guarantee that the rights, safety and well-being of patients are protected, compliance with the standards of Good Clinical Practices is required by the health professionals involved, hence the prior training of these personnel.

Objective:

to describe the training process developed in Villa Clara aimed at health personnel involved in the health intervention with the vaccine candidate Abdala.

Methods:

a qualitative research was carried out from April to May 2021 in Villa Clara. Theoretical, empirical, mathematical-statistical methods and the criteria of specialists were used. The basic elements of the training process were identified and evaluation scales were established: successful, moderately successful and not successful.

Results:

87 facilitators were trained through a national workshop on Good Clinical Practices to develop a cascade training. 32 workshops were held that allowed training 99.12% of the planned personnel, who worked during the health intervention in 47 clinical sites. During the previous tours it was verified that 100% of the personnel involved in the intervention had received the workshop given. When evaluating the requirements established for the premises of the site, it was determined that more than 90% were met in all of them.

Conclusions:

the training in Good Clinical Practices of the personnel involved in the anti-COVID-19 health intervention in Villa Clara was considered successful.
