Vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to specific diseases. Morbidity and mortality declined where immunization are practiced. Vaccine safety is prime for community, manufacturer, immunization providers and recipient of vaccines. This study aims to contribute to the application of best practices on vaccine safety among nurses. After determining the vaccination safety standards observed, strategies and proposals to improve techniques in vaccination safety through education and training were offered. The quantitative-descriptive method was used. Data were supplied by 100 nurses who were in the Primary Health Care centers in Jazan City KSA. Questionnaire used was patterned from the tool on evaluating vaccination practices contained in the Quality Assurance in Primary Health Care Manual for Nurses in Saudi Arabia. Weighted Mean and Chi- Square test for a one-sample case were used to treat the data obtained. Result of the study showed that nurses’ responses on vaccine safety standards practiced were significant but their responses on routine vaccine practice were not significant. Vaccination safety standards were observed and practiced along resources and structures, procedures in vaccination and immunization session guidelines while knowledge on routine vaccine practice was observed sometimes. Responses of the nurses showed correlation on resources and structures, procedures on vaccination and immunization guidelines but not on knowledge on routine vaccine practice. The strategies and proposals laid down may improve techniques in vaccination safety through education and training.
