It is treated, therefore, of a exploratory/descriptive study with qualitative and quantitative approach. They were constituted as collaborators of the research twenty-two nursing professionals, being five nurses, three auxiliary and fourteen technicians in nursing. The information were obtained through the interview technique with semi-structured route. In the quantitative approach, the information were analyzed by statistics and presented in form of tables and graphs to characterize the workers and the aspects related to the vaccination situation of the same ones; and in the qualitative approach, we used the method of content analysis. The analysis was accomplished starting from the categories empiric coming from the process of analysis of the field material, measure through inferences and interpretations based on the authors studied in the theoretical referential of the research. Starting from the analysis of the results, we verified that the nursing interviewees' workers establish in a clear way and it aims at, in your speeches, a direct relationship between vaccination and biosecurity besides attributing a meaning of great importance with relationship to the use of the vaccines in your professional lives in what refers to the control and decrease of the risks, above all the biological ones, to the which are exposed in the daily exercise of your functions. However, when analyzing those workers' vaccination situation, we verified that the vaccination covering still meets on this side of the expected for the vaccines of occupational interest, with prominence just for the vaccines against diphtheria and tetanus and to against hepatitis B, that presented coverings considered very good and above the national average. Considering that the institution, although has a service of health occupational active and offer some vaccines of occupational interest, it still presents a work of little mobilization in what refers to the consciousness and the workers' permanent education with relationship to the need and importance of the occupational vaccination, not only for your workers' protection, as well as measure in the infection control and, therefore, as safety for your patients/clients. We understood that that work type didn't still become politics guided by ministries of Health or of the Labor, however, it falls to the institutions that work for the interest of the workers' health to struggle for all and any action and mobilization that have as objective protects the workers of the risks in your work atmosphere / O presente estudo analisa as concep??es e as pr?ticas dos trabalhadores de enfermagem sobre a rela??o entre vacina??o e biosseguran?a em um hospital p?blico de refer?ncia em doen?as infecto contagiosas em Natal/RN. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo explorat?rio/descritivo com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Constitu?ram-se como colaboradores da pesquisa vinte e dois profissionais de enfermagem, sendo cinco enfermeiras, tr?s auxiliares e quatorze t?cnicos em enfermagem. As informa??es foram obtidas atrav?s da t?cnica de entrevista com roteiro semi-estruturado. Na abordagem quantitativa, as informa??es foram analisadas estatisticamente e apresentadas em forma de tabelas e gr?ficos para caracterizar os trabalhadores e os aspectos relacionados ? situa??o vacinal dos mesmos; e na abordagem qualitativa, utilizamos o m?todo de an?lise de conte?do. A an?lise foi realizada a partir das categorias emp?ricas advindas do processo de an?lise do material de campo, medida atrav?s de infer?ncias e interpreta??es baseadas nos autores estudados no referencial te?rico da pesquisa. A partir da an?lise dos resultados, constatamos que os trabalhadores de enfermagem entrevistados estabelecem de forma clara e objetiva, nas suas falas, uma rela??o direta entre vacina??o e biosseguran?a al?m de atribuir um significado de grande import?ncia quanto ao uso das vacinas em suas vidas profissionais no que se refere ao controle e diminui??o dos riscos, sobretudo os biol?gicos, aos quais se encontram expostos no exerc?cio cotidiano de suas fun??es. No entanto, ao analisar a situa??o vacinal desses trabalhadores, verificamos que a cobertura vacinal ainda se encontra aqu?m do esperado para as vacinas de interesse ocupacional, com destaque apenas para as vacinas contra difteria e t?tano e a contra hepatite B, que apresentaram coberturas consideradas muito boas e acima da m?dia nacional. Considerando que a institui??o, embora tenha um servi?o de sa?de ocupacional atuante e ofere?a algumas vacinas de interesse ocupacional, ainda apresenta um trabalho de pouca mobiliza??o no que se refere ? sensibiliza??o e educa??o permanente dos trabalhadores quanto ? necessidade e import?ncia da vacina??o ocupacional, n?o s? para a prote??o dos seus trabalhadores, como tamb?m como medida no controle de infec??o e, portanto, como seguran?a para os seus pacientes/clientes. Entendemos que esse tipo de trabalho ainda n?o se transformou em pol?tica orientada pelos Minist?rios da Sa?de ou do Trabalho, por?m, cabe ?s institui??es que trabalham pelo interesse da sa?de dos trabalhadores lutar por toda e qualquer a??o e mobiliza??o que tenham como objetivo proteger os trabalhadores dos riscos no seu ambiente de trabalho
