Objective: To describe the trajectory of the National Immunization Program in the state of Alagoas. Method: This is an experience report. Results: Activities aimed at monitoring vaccination in Alagoas began in the 1950s, with the Special Public Health Service. The state program does not have institutional public documents of its trajectory in the early years, therefore, the managers' reports are essential to start recording the program's performance. The management of the program had the support of the Ministry of Health, which carried out courses and surveys. There was no lack of inputs, immunobiologicals were made available daily in vaccination rooms in Alagoas, the municipalities had direct contact with the program's management, which explained and encouraged the increase in vaccine coverage, in addition to congratulating those who reached them. Final considerations: In the first four decades, intense work has been recorded in Alagoas, with communication between municipalities and the state, training, vaccination campaigns and on-the-spot monitoring by managers of work in Alagoas municipalities, who carried out courses and surveys in the state and with the support of the state education network, whose schools were the headquarters of mobile stations in vaccination campaigns.
