The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed denial of the vaccine as one of ten global health threats.

This is a cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, conducted at the Freedom Family Health Unit, located in the municipality of Tracunhaém located in the North Forest of Pernambuco. The sample consisted of 80 puerperum women who had prenatal care at the unit, who wanted to participate in the research, and data collection was performed from September to October 2020. It was observed in the data that most of the research participants knew the relevance of vaccination for the prevention of diseases in their children, however 43.7% stated that they did not know the benefits, but that they knew the importance of immunization for children and during pregnancy.
