Abstract
The need for a collaboration between the public health system (PHS) nurses and the occupational nurses from occupational risk prevention services (ORPS) was made evident during the Covid-19 pandemic. In Catalonia, several examples of beforementioned necessity were seen. This document analyses the experience both PHS nurses and ORPS nurses had during the vaccination program of a meat industry workers. It was concluded that coordination and synchronization between both parts is, not only possible, but also key in bettering health markers at a community level. Planning and intervention from an occupational standpoint have proven effective and opens the door to future collaborations between occupational nurses and other nursing specialties.
