Abstract

The immunization process represents one of the most important activities in the field of health. In 1973, the National Immunization Program was created in Brazil, offering immunobiologicals through the public health network. The program has a specific timetable, with immunization goals and with specific target groups, which makes many people stay out of the immune action, thus having the risk that diseases that have already been eradicated and / or controlled will resurface. In 2018 it was authorized by law for pharmacies to offer vaccines with the intention that this insertion brings important benefits to the population. The work verifies the real perspective of the introduction of the immune service through the pharmaceutical professional in the vaccine rooms and its benefits for society. Data from an opinion poll conducted using questionnaires for pharmacy customers were used, having direct and inherent questions to verify the knowledge of these people about vaccines, vaccination rooms, the insertion of the pharmaceutical professional in the immunization process. and the difficulties encountered in immunizing the pubic network. At the end of the study it was possible to evaluate that the expansion of vaccination rooms in pharmacies can be configured as an essential service in the population's immune action and in the promotion of collective health.
