Abstract:

Vaccination is a crucial process in a primary care unit and extremely important for society. This study sought to map and analyze the COVID-19 vaccination process using conceptsResilience Engineering, to identify possible sources of failure and recommend improvements. A case study was carried out in a Primary Health Care unit, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews in a cross-sectional study. The vaccination process was analyzed and modeled using the functional resonance analysis method (FRAM), which provided a greater understanding of the procedural flow and the identification of the system's main functions and points of variability. The results pointed out the couplings between functions that can generate high variability, which made it possible to engineer improvements in the system's resilience by proposing countermeasures for the situations identified as bottlenecks.
