Abstract

The objective was to investigate the vaccination status and immunization records of children enrolled in the first, second and third years of elementary school, in municipal schools in Palmas (TO). This is a cross-sectional field study with a quantitative approach. A total of 205 student vaccination cards were evaluated, representing all regions of the city, between October 2020 and April 2021. Of the analyzed cards, 46.34% were from female students, aged between 71 months and 116 months; 82.44% had updated vaccination status and 8.29% of the cards did not contain the note of the return date to receive the subsequent dose of vaccine. The chickenpox booster stood out among the doses not administered (95) and the booster against Yellow Fever with the highest number of delayed doses (27), considering the age of the children and the vaccines that could still be administered, following the schedule national vaccination program. The findings point to a vaccine situation below the target established by the National Immunization Program, requiring intervention in the scenario in order to prevent diseases that have already been controlled from impacting children's health again.
