Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile of the care service at the Reference Center for Special Immunobiologicals of Hospital in the Amazon. Method: a descriptive study, of a quantitative approach and analyzed by means of the descriptive and inferential statistics. The Information System of the Reference Center for Special Immunobiologicals (former) and the Information System of the National Immunization Program (current) were the databases used, between 2006 and 2016. Results: 77,077 doses of immunobiological vaccines were administered; 25.2% corresponded to the inactivated influenza vaccine; chronic renal failure was the main indication (19%). The current system recorded 18,267 doses of immunobiological vaccines administered between the years 2014 to 2016; 37.8% of which were inactivated influenza vaccines; 42.5% of the indications were not reported, with HIV/AIDS being 18.2%. Infectology was the specialty that most referred to vaccination (18,3%). Conclusion: the data accuracy has been compromised by the incompleteness in the information systems.
