Resum
From the first day of imprisonment, prisoners are exposed to and
expose other prisoners to various communicable diseases, many of
which are vaccine-preventable. The risk of acquiring these
diseases during the prison sentence exceeds that of the general
population. This excess risk may be explained by various causes;
some due to the structural and logistical problems of prisons
and others to habitual or acquired behaviors during
imprisonment. Prison is, for many inmates, an opportunity to
access health care, and is therefore an ideal opportunity to
update adult vaccination schedules. The traditional idea that
prisons are intended to ensure public safety should be
complemented by the contribution they can make in improving
community health, providing a more comprehensive vision of
safety that includes public health.
