ABSTRACT: This is a descriptive study peformed with the undergraduating students (last graded) in the health field. We aimed at characterizing the performance of the Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) in orientating such students concerning vaccination, immunepreventable diseases of high importance to heath care professionals (HCP), in Goiás. A sample test was carried out using Epi-Info 2004 Software, n=651, which corresponds to 54,0% of the studied population, reliability interval of 95%. The ethical-legal aspects of the research were observed. Data was collected through questionnaire, shown in figures and tables, and assessed by descriptive statistics. Of the students, 92, 0% reported having been orientated towards vaccination. lnformation was obtained by the means of curricular subject in 32,3%, and the faculty directors accounting for 13,6% of reports. Vaccines which are known as recommended to such professionals are: anti-hepatitis B in 94,8%, anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus in 77,3% of the citations. Although the HEI in Goiás have been discussing such issue, they do that in a fragmented and little consistent way. KEY WORDS: Occupational Exposure; Occupational Health; Immunization.Downloads
