Abstract

Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile of the care service at the Reference
Center for Special Immunobiologicals of Hospital in the Amazon.
Method: a descriptive study, of a quantitative approach and analyzed by means of the
descriptive and inferential statistics. The Information System of the Reference Center for
Special Immunobiologicals (former) and the Information System of the National Immunization
Program (current) were the databases used, between 2006 and 2016.
Results: 77,077 doses of immunobiological vaccines were administered; 25.2% corresponded
to the inactivated influenza vaccine; chronic renal failure was the main indication (19%). The
current system recorded 18,267 doses of immunobiological vaccines administered between
the years 2014 to 2016; 37.8% of which were inactivated influenza vaccines; 42.5% of the
indications were not reported, with HIV/AIDS being 18.2%. Infectology was the specialty that most referred to vaccination (18,3%).

Conclusion: the data accuracy has been compromised by the incompleteness in the information
systems. We observed underutilization of the service by the local population.
