Abstract

According to the estimates from the Global Burden Disease study, in this age group, globally and in the Latin American (LA) region, deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) went from 5.1 to 1.8 million and from 228 to 36 thousand, respectively between 1990 and 2017. According to the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI), which was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1974, more than 1 billion children were vaccinated over the last decade, allowing the avoidance of 2–3 million deaths every year. Considering that most of these doses are applied during the first 11 months of life, four age groups were defined for children under one-year-old and other groups were defined for children of one, two, three, and four years old. [...]the corresponding doses estimated coverage is presented for each of these age groups. [...]for the household of residence: rurality, and state (which was categorized into four geographic regions: northwest, northeast, center, and south).
