Abstract

One of the priorities of the assistance of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) is the comprehensive health care of children and aims to provide basic care for the child to grow and develop healthily and receive health care at the stage of great vulnerability and care needs of every human being. In recent decades, women began labor market significantly, then socially senses a change in the performance of childcare, since currently this is done by care institutions or caregivers. However, regular attendance at routine childcare and enforcement of child vaccination schedule is outdated in the case of children who are assisted by home caregivers, a type of informal childcare. This work aims to propose intervention plan by adapting working hours and organization of the work process of the Basic Health Unit to facilitate access of children assisted by informal caregivers to vaccination offered by the National Immunization Program of the Ministry of Health and childcare. It is observed that as literature review performed a determinant for the lack to consultations and vaccination factor is the parents' job, which reduces the time to take their children to the clinic. Given this, we propose an action plan for better adhesion and to facilitate access to consultations and vaccination room.
