To date, vaccines to prevent COVID-19 represent the best hope for combating the virus, and they represent a challenge in the chain of distribution and distribution participation for state authorities in Peru, with respect to prioritizing the adequate administration by those who participated in the vaccination process among the citizens. Objective. To analyze the management of the distribution and application of the vaccine against COVID-19 in the Huaycán Hospital. Materials and Methods. A non-experimental study was designed, with a quantitative approach, descriptive cross-sectional analysis. The population consisted of 700 professionals working in the hospital. The techniques used were the interview and the survey using a questionnaire-type form as an instrument. Results. Regarding virus prevention measures in health personnel, diagnostic tests were performed on workers (rapid tests and PCR) to identify suspected cases in a total of 2,590 workers, of whom 2,372 underwent rapid tests and 218 swabs. As for the level of implementation of vaccination, it was determined that all the workers of the Hospital de Huaycán were not vaccinated at the time of vaccine application. Conclusions. The management of the distribution and application of the vaccine against COVID-19 in the Huaycán Hospital reveals a series of both positive and worrying aspects. Although adequate management indicators are observed in the administration of the vaccine, it is evident that coverage has not reached 100%, which implies challenges in terms of scope and efficacy of immunization in the hospital population.
