The use of mobile applications, through smart phones, smartphones, has been considered by many to be the technological revolution of greatest repercussion in recent times. Compared to a handheld computer and with access to millions of applications, its main feature is unlimited mobility, accompanying its user at all times and in any place. In health, it is known that professionals are constantly moving outside of the institutions in which they work, so mobility is fundamental, which contributes to the interoperability of mobile technologies. This study aims to identify the research involving mobile technology applied to the vaccination being used. The methodology used is of the type integrative review of the literature. The final sample had 14 papers. The analysis of the results showed that the most addressed issue in the development of mobile applications for the area of health vaccination was the guidance and reminders of vaccines to users through the application. When looking at the focus of these applications, you’ll find that the area most benefited by mobile computing research for vaccination has been education and user orientation. It was concluded with the review that the development of mobile vaccination applications linked to scientific research is of paramount importance because its content will be analyzed and tested by professionals who know the real needs of the end users
