The influence of nursing team's behavior in adverse event following immunization surveillance

to analyze the effects of nursing professionals' behavior in adverse event following immunization surveillance.

a cross-sectional study of 384 participants who received vaccines. Information on vaccination history, administered vaccines and vaccination guidelines were analyzed. Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed using simple logistic regression (unadjusted Odds Ratio).

guidelines on events (PR=1.8; p=0.001) and conducts regarding their occurrence (PR=1.7; p=0.001) are activities that influence adverse event following immunization surveillance. More than half of participants did not receive guidance on the vaccines administered, the events and the conduct in case of an occurrence. Only 38.5% were instructed about the vaccines administered and 40.6% about adverse events. In the presence of an event, 29.9% reported that they sought services for notification.

proper screening, providing guidance on vaccines and adverse events are essential preventive measures to strengthen adverse event following immunization surveillance.
