Abstract
Objective: To describe the implementation of advanced practice nursing to address delayed immunization in children under two years of age. Methods: This experience report monitored the immunization status of children under two years of age and described advanced practice nursing to improve immunization compliance. Results: The immunization status of children was monitored, and individual and collective actions and interventions were carried out, such as individual consultations, active searches, telephone calls and messages via a mobile phone application, ongoing education, and the production of educational materials to raise awareness among the community, parents/guardians and health professionals about the importance of keeping the immunization schedule up to date, as proposed by the Brazilian National Immunization Program. Conclusion: The interventions in this report have demonstrated important public health implications and may suggest that advanced nursing practices positively impact improving immunization coverage.
