OBJECTIVE: To describe the health care provided to adolescents at a health unit in Acre during the COVID 19 pandemic. METHOD: Cross-sectional, an exploratory study carried out with adolescents seeking care at a health unit. RESULTS: Most were 16 years old (40%), single (90%), brown skin color (55%), family income of 1 minimum wage (63%), incomplete high school (55%). They did not have a paid job (88%), did not attend religion (60%), lived with their parents (75%); when they sought care, they were successful (100%). Among the reasons for seeking care, the medical consultation (35%) was highlighted, followed by exams (33%). They claimed that they did not have any pre-existing health problems (98%) and had not participated in an educational activity in the last 12 months (100%). They stated that they did not know the community health agent in their coverage area and that he did not regularly carry out home visits (100%). Most received guidance from health professionals during care (80%) and thought that the unit's actions aimed at adolescents were satisfactory (48.0). CONCLUSION: Overall, adolescents could access health services in their local region during the pandemic and were satisfied with the care.
