OBJECTIVE: evaluate the degree of implementation of the standards and guidelines of PNI in 2011 in vaccination rooms of Pernambuco State, northeastern Brazil, considering its structural and operational components. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted with a random sample of 318 vaccination rooms. The variables grouped into four components were collected by interviews with nursing staff and non-participant observations. The degree of implementation of standards and guidelines was classified as: implemented (≥90% of rooms with the situationpreconized), partially implemented (70-89%), insufficiently implemented (40-69%) and not implemented (<40%). RESULTS: the degree of implementation of components of PNI into vaccination rooms ranged from 67.0% (for epidemiological surveillance and health education) to 74.2% (for indication and application of immunobiologicals). The structure and organization of rooms (70.4%) and cold chain (73.6%) had intermediate situation. CONCLUSION: the immunization program is partially implemented (71.4%) in routine of health services in Pernambuco.
