Objective: To report the experience of workshops designed for action plans in microplanning vaccination in Brazilian states and municipalities.
Methods: This was a report on microplanning workshops aimed at mapping the local population, target population and identifying appropriate and effective vaccination actions. Vaccination actions were planned according to the reality of the municipalities using the microplanning method for high-quality vaccination activities.
Results: The workshops aimed at establishing effective vaccination strategies were held between July 15 (Macapá, capital city of Amapá state) and September 14, 2023 (Belo Horizonte, capital city of the state of Minas Gerais), with a total of 1,232 participants, including surveillance technicians, primary care and other health sectors. The diversity of participants highlighted distinct challenges and the importance of cooperation in addressing low vaccination coverage across the country.
Conclusion: The workshops served as a platform for raising awareness and exchanging experiences among stakeholders involved in vaccination.
Main results: The workshops promoted detailed mapping of the local context and the target population, in addition to providing opportunities for raising awareness and exchanging experiences among participants involved in vaccination programs.
Implications for services: It is suggested that the workshops be replicated and expanded to promote a continuous and contextualized assessment of local realities. The process also fosters a more collaborative and participatory approach, enabling professionals to adjust their practices based on local demands and actual needs.
Perspectives: The next steps are expected to include the sustainable incorporation of this strategy across states and municipalities, in order to eliminate and control vaccine-preventable diseases.
