Summary: | ABSTRACT Objective To estimate vaccination coverage in children born between 2017-2018, living in urban areas of state capitals, the Federal District and 12 inland municipalities in Brazil, and to identify associated factors. Methods This was a household survey conducted between 2020-2022, among children up to 24 months old. Vaccination coverage was estimated according to family, maternal and child characteristics. Results Among the 37,801 children in the sample, complete coverage (doses administered) was 60.1% (95%CI 58.6;61.6) and 6.1% (95%CI 5.4;7.0) had not received any vaccines. Coverage was lower among children of mothers with lower level of education (OR = 0.70; 95%CI 0.54;0.90) and in those who experienced delays in receiving any vaccine by 6 months old (OR = 0.28; 95%CI 0.24;0.32). Conclusion Vaccination coverage is below the expected levels. Effective communication strategies are needed to reinforce the importance of routine vaccination, prevent delays and abandonment of the vaccination schedule, in order to recover the high coverage levels achieved in past decades.

RESUMO Objetivo Estimar a cobertura vacinal em crianças nascidas entre 2017-2018, residentes nas áreas urbanas das capitais, do Distrito Federal e em 12 municípios do interior do Brasil, e identificar fatores associados. Métodos Inquérito domiciliar realizado entre 2020-2022, em crianças até 24 meses. Estimou-se a cobertura vacinal segundo características da família, da mãe e da criança. Resultados Nas 37.801 crianças da amostra, a cobertura completa (doses aplicadas) foi de 60,1% (IC95% 58,6;61,6), e 6,1% (IC95% 5,4;7,0) não receberam qualquer vacina. A cobertura foi menor em crianças de mães com menor instrução (OR = 0,70; IC95% 0,54;0,90) e nas que tinham atraso em qualquer vacina até os 6 meses de vida (OR = 0,28; IC95% 0,24;0,32). Conclusão As coberturas vacinais estão aquém do esperado. É necessário adotar estratégias de comunicação efetivas para reforçar a importância da vacinação de rotina, prevenindo atrasos e abandono do esquema vacinal, para retomar os altos níveis alcançados em décadas passadas. |
