Objective: To assess knowledge and practices for the conservation of biological products for professional rooms vaccine in Piauí. Method: Study developed in 23 rooms vaccine in 14 counties. Data were collected through interviews, observation and document analysis. Univariate analyzes were performed. Results: In the 23 rooms vaccines visits, 86,2% were technical professionals/nursing assistant, 93,1% received training in vaccination, 62,1% were under five years of work in vaccine. The majority (69%) had knowledge "Regular" and practice "Inadequate" (65,5%).
