Abstract:
Immunization is one of the most effective measures to prevent diseases, however qualified professionals and structural elements are needed to guarantee the quality of work. Objective: To understand the importance of reception and screening performed by nurses and their staff in the immunization room, their health education strategies in the quality of care, identifying the importance of the nurse's role in the immunization room; clarifying the importance of information, guidance, reception and screening in the immunization room, in order to prevent possible errors. Methodology: It is an integrative literature review, with an online database search, where sixteen articles were used as the final sample. Result: It was possible to observe that the reception guarantees the performance of certain and precise procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to follow a standard in the structure of the work environment, however the research indicates that the vaccination rooms have problems with physical structure and lack of equipment. It was seen that adverse events range from a common reaction to the vaccine, poor packaging, to errors when applying the vaccine. These administration errors occur due to lack of verification in important items such as observation and correct reading of the vaccination card. Conclusion: Nursing is essential to maintain constant contact with the patient, providing continuous care, which allows the identification of risks and consequently establish suggestions for improvement, incorporating good practices in care and always promoting safety in the institution.
