Abstract: 

The coverage rates of vaccination campaigns are increasingly lower, reflecting directly on public health. Such an impact can be justified by campaigns that refer to the Vacina Brasil movement, a parallel that may be used in the Anti-Vaccine Movement, which is getting more and more followers around the world every day. In view of this, the idea of a questionnaire for later analysis of the speech of the adept people is an important factor that allows us to understand the processes of identification of people with the two movements. What is most surprising given the situation is that vaccine denial continues to impact the National Immunization Plan. It is hoped that this research will help to understand the meanings that permeate the anti-vaccination movement and how it impacts our society.
