Abstract
Objective: Describe the impacts generated by implantation of the BCG vaccine administration in the city of Porto Alegre – RS, in 2019 e 2020. Methods: For this analysis, were used only secondary data, granted by the Information System of the National Immunization Program and the Strategic Inputs System. Those informations were separated and tabulated in a chart, using Microsoft Excel® 2010. Results: The results demonstrate that the change in the flow of vaccinating services provided an increase in the city’s vaccine coverage, reaching a percentage of 100% after the change. With the new flow, most newborns are immunized until the second day of life, which is closer to the goal established by the Health Ministry of Brazil. This result is different from the reality found with the administration services centralization in reference health units. Conclusion: The changes made brought greater access to the BCG vaccines, increasing the vaccine coverage and contributing to early immunization.
