This article aims to detect conditions that contribute to the non-acceptance of vaccination by the population, as well as expose the importance of adherence to vaccination, especially in the midst of a pandemic such as the new Coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2). To this end, the methodology of this study was based on an integrative literature review, qualitative in nature. In view of the studies analyzed, it was identifi ed that fake news are the main factors that hinder the approval of vaccination by the Brazilian population. Together with other factors such as vaccine reactions, unproven effi cacy, high number of vaccines and doses, they point to conditions that interfere negatively in Brazilian vaccination campaigns. In a critical moment, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, adherence to vaccination is extremely important for the reduction of severe cases, deaths, and eradication of the disease. The public can ensure that only scientifi c and reliable information about vaccination is shared, to reduce false news that interfere with vaccination adherence.
