Capacitação sobre vacina para os agentes comunitários de saúde: relato de experiência de residentes em saúde coletiva

Introduction: The territorialization process enables knowledge about the population's needs, supporting the planning of health actions. In this context, the Community Health Agent is the main link between the community and the Basic Health Unit, and among their attributions is the monitoring of the vaccination situation. Thus, professional improvement in this theme is of fundamental importance for its correct dissemination in the territory. Objective: To describe the experience of residents in Public Health about activities developed in Primary Care. Methods: This is an experience report resulting from a training activity on the vaccination calendar, developed for community health workers in a Basic Unit in the municipality of Salgueiro-PE. Results: The moment was given by the regional coordinator of the PNI, who started by asking questions about the theme, enabling the exchange of experiences among the participants. Then, the speaker explained about the vaccination calendar and the main vaccination campaigns. At the end, a printed material produced by the residents was delivered, containing the vaccines distributed by age group, in order to become a working tool for the agents. Final Considerations: This study highlights the importance of constant training so that health professionals can provide the population with up-to-date and correct information. In addition, it contributes to the process of training residents in Public Health so that they can understand the role of primary care within the Health Care Network.
