• Abstract:

  The work process in vaccine rooms requires professionals to have technical-scientific knowledge and the adoption of operational standards recommended by the Ministry of Health for this service, in order to create safe environments for the correct administration of immunobiologicals and, thus, contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality rates caused by vaccine-preventable diseases. Nursing plays a fundamental role in all actions involving the immunization process. In this sense, the study sought to understand the work process carried out by the nursing team in vaccination rooms of the Family Health Units in a municipality in the Recôncavo Baiano, having as a reference base the norms established by the National Immunization Program. The research is descriptive, documentary, with a qualitative approach. 04 nurses and 04 nursing technicians were interviewed, using 28 hours of direct observation, in addition to document analysis. Data analysis was based on the thematic content analysis proposed by Minayo. Regarding the work process, most respondents have a superficial discourse. Although many more actions were observed than what was said in the interviews, it is noteworthy that activities proposed by the Ministry of Health were not carried out at the USF, which can interfere with the quality of the service provided and, in the planning, and redirection of health actions. vaccination. Due to the scarcity of research that discusses the work process in the vaccine room, it is therefore necessary to carry out new studies, due to the relevance of this procedure for Primary Care and Nursing.
