Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To identify the possible causes of low adherence to vaccination campaigns in Brazil, find and analyze campaigns regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) in Brazil and abroad, and apply quality tools to prepare proposals to increase vaccination coverage (VC) and prevent HPV in the country. METHOD: This is a qualitative and deductive-hypothetical research. A narrative review of the literature (especially on the narratives and formats applied in vaccination campaigns in Brazil) was the technique used to develop our method. RESULTS: Brazil had a 49.6% VC in 2019, unlike countries such as Australia (80.2% in 2017), Mexico (97.5% in 2019), and Peru (91% in 2019). This study found evidence of the use of social marketing strategies to engage communities as good practices in the vaccination campaigns of these countries. CONCLUSION: With the retrieved information, three quality tools (Ishikawa diagram, Pareto graph, and 5W2H) classified and quantified the causes of low VC in Brazil and enabled proposals that can direct its Ministry of Health to take more effective strategies to achieve the HPV VC goal recommended by the WHO.
