ABSTRACT Objective: identify adherence to patient safety recommendations in the vaccination room. Method: this is a cross-sectional study that analyzed 463 vaccination procedures in six vaccination rooms in Minas Gerais from June to July 2018. Data were obtained with the application of the Patient Safety Checklist for Vaccination Rooms through systematic observation of the vaccination procedure. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: 463 vaccination procedures were observed, and the mean overall adherence score was 58.5%, min. 43.3% and max. 74.1%. The items of higher adherence were related to the records of vaccine data (name, date, and batch) on the vaccination card; vaccine application with dose, route of administration, location and correct materials; and records in an information system. The items of lower adherence were related to health guidance; investigation of adverse events following immunization and the health status of the vaccinated person; records of vaccine laboratory and vaccination center on the vaccination card; vaccine workforce handwashing; and proper vaccine preparation. Conclusion: the mean overall score found in this study was 58.5% for the adherence to recommendations for vaccination procedures. This result highlights the need for educational interventions that promote patient safety in the vaccination room and studies analyzing the factors that prevent such adherence.
