A IMPORTÂNCIA DA CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO DA VACINAÇÃO CONTRA COVID-19 NO BRASIL

Abstract

Since the discovery of COVID-19 the world has come across the unknown in the field of health and this has interfered in other social structures. As a result, the need for the discovery of vaccines arose to stop the spread of the disease. After the discovery, test, and approval of vaccines against COVID-19, many people refused immunization, even in the face of the chaotic scenario in which Brazil was. In this sense, the present study emerges to add knowledge by evidencing the importance of complete immunization against COVID-19. For preparation, a bibliographic review of articles was carried out in LILACS, SciELO and CAPES databases, to select studies dealing with issues related to theme. The search resulted in eight articles that met the proposed objectives. The results indicated the need to raise awareness about the importance of immunization with all the necessary doses and that health professionals are the main responsible for disseminating correct information about vaccination, since the positive effects of immunization against COVID-19 can already be perceived with the decrease in severe cases of the disease and mortality.
