Factors associated with the incomplete opportune vaccination schedule up to 12 months of age, Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso

Abstract

Objective: To analyze factors associated with the incomplete timely vaccination schedule up to 12 months of age, in children born in 2015, in the municipality of Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso. Methods: Population survey, August/2017 to February/2018, which used the method proposed by the World Health Organization to collect information about routine vaccination. For analysis of the associated factors, the recommendations of the National Immunization Program of the Ministry of Health were considered. Univariate analysis was performed, and the factors associated with p<0.20 entered in the multiple analysis, with hierarchical entry of individual variables and contextual indicator of concentration of the income extremes. Results: The incomplete timely vaccination schedule up to 12 months was 82.03% (95%CI 78.41–86.63). In the final model, the following remained independently associated: having one or more siblings at home (OR 3.18; 95%CI 1.75–5.76) and not receiving a visit from a community health worker in the last 30 days (OR 1.93; 95%CI 1.04–3.57). Conclusions: It is necessary to implement an active search for children with vaccination delay in relation to the recommended interval for each vaccine, in addition to the need to strengthen the link of the family health strategy and child caregivers.

Determinants of second-dose measles vaccination dropout in Ethiopia: A community-based matched case-control study

“…A possible explanation might be that educated mothers have a better understanding and decision-making skills in child health services like vaccination [ 35 ]. Moreover, previous studies show that being less educated and having limited basic information increases the likelihood of not adhering to the vaccination schedule [ 36 ]. Inconsistent findings have been reported in Uganda, which showed no significant association between mother's education and completion of vaccination [ 37 ].…”

Pandemia por COVID-19 e o abandono da vacinação em crianças: mapas da heterogeneidade espacial

“…Segundo o calendário vacinal, a segunda dose das vacinas pneumocócica-10 e rotavírus devem ser administradas aos quatro meses de idade (37) . É provável que a baixa procura pelos pais/responsáveis (38) , bem como a insuficiente realização de ações de vigilância em saúde, como orientação e busca ativa durante as visitas domiciliares pelos profissionais de saúde, tenham contribuído para esse resultado (39) .…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination abandonment in children: spatial heterogeneity maps

“…According to the vaccination calendar, the second dose of the pneumococcal 10 and rotavirus vaccines must be administered at the age of four months old 37 . It is likely that the low demand by the parents/guardians 38 , as well as the insufficient performance of health surveillance actions, such as guidance and active search during home visits by health professionals, have contributed to this result 39 .…”
