Training nursing professionals for immunobiological administration in the ventrogluteal region: an experience report

To report the experience of planning and developing a training program for immunobiological administration in the ventrogluteal region.

An experience report regarding a training program directed at nursing professionals, conducted in September 2024 through the integration of extension projects and in partnership with the Municipal Health Department of Divinópolis, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Twenty-three training sessions were conducted, involving 278 professionals. Each session, lasting three hours, was structured into three stages: a theoretical approach to anatomy; a theoretical approach to immunobiological administration; and practical training in the technique for locating the ventrogluteal region. Activities were conducted by a faculty member, supported by a facilitator and at least two student monitors. The groups, composed of an average of 14 professionals, allowed individualized follow-up and greater interaction during discussions and practical activities.

This report contributes by demonstrating the feasibility of implementing a theoretical-practical training program focused on immunobiological administration in the ventrogluteal region within the context of Primary Health Care, highlighting its potential to improve professional practice and increase safety in the vaccination process.
