Therefore, this study aimed to estimate vaccination coverage for children living in quilombola communities and rural settlements in the central region of Brazil during their first year of life and to analyze the factors associated with incomplete vaccination. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on children born between 2015 and 2017. The percentage of children who received all vaccines recommended by the National Immunization Program in Brazil by 11 months and 29 days was used to calculate immunization coverage. Children who received the following vaccines were considered as having a complete basic vaccination schedule: one dose of BCG; three doses of Hepatitis B, of Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DPT), of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and of Poliovirus (Polio); two doses of Rotavirus, of 10-valent pneumococcal (PCV10), and of Serogroup C meningococcal conjugate (MenC); and one dose of Yellow Fever (YF). Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and other doses recommended at or after 12 months were not included. Consolidated logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with incomplete vaccination coverage. Overall vaccination coverage was 52.8% (95% CI: 45.5\u201359.9%) and ranged from 70.4% for the Yellow Fever vaccine to 78.3% for the Rotavirus vaccine, with no significant differences between the quilombola and settler groups. Notably, the likelihood of incomplete general vaccination coverage was higher among children who did not receive a visit from a healthcare professional. Urgent strategies are required to achieve and ensure health equity for this unique and traditionally distinct group with low vaccination coverage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines11040838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,14]],"date-time":"2023-04-14T02:28:12Z","timestamp":1681439292000},"page":"838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Low Vaccine Coverage and Factors Associated with Incomplete Childhood Immunization in Racial\/Ethnic Minorities and Rural Groups, Central Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6646-7995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana","family":"de Oliveira Roque e Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Val\u00e9ria","family":"Pagotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B\u00e1rbara Souza","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0833-7826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo S\u00e9rgio","family":"Scalize","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-220, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5171-7958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael Alves","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"},{"name":"Institute of Tropical Pathology and Public Health, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-050, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2782-386X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e1rcio Dias","family":"de Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74055-110, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leandro Nascimento","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Municipal Health Department, Goi\u00e2nia 74884-092, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele Dias","family":"da Silva Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6676-6573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Winny \u00c9veny Alves","family":"Moura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7059-4241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sheila Ara\u00fajo","family":"Teles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claci F\u00e1tima Weirich","family":"Rosso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4818-4753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karlla Antonieta Amorim","family":"Caetano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, Federal University of Goi\u00e1s, Goi\u00e2nia 74605-080, GO, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2020).
