Sumario:The coined term conceptualized as Immunoliteracy based on Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) will be exposed. The biopsychoeducation program will be presented, using the concept of immunoliteracy, through which, using the new communication tools offered by  technology it was possible to provide qualified scientific information and tools to more than 100,000 people from 75 countries, since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Immunological aspects related to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be discussed, as well as its consequences on global mental health that still persists. Emphasis will be placed on two tools: the immunocompetent personality test and two guided imagery exercises that were made available to people, named: the immunological adventure and the immunological adventure against COVID-19. The validity of the immunoliteracy program will be discussed as a feasible, scientifically valid, and responsible alternative for the benefit of people's health, in the current circumstances.
