Abstract

Objective: To correlate vaccination coverage with measles reporting numbers in the Federal District from 2008 to 2018. Method: This is a descriptive retrospective study with quantitative analysis using secondary data obtained through the systems of national database, from the period 2008 to 2018, being the Federal District field of study. Results: The results showed that the instability of the Triple Viral VC values ​​in the last decade, with sometimes high, sometimes decayed peaks, and by correlating the data provided by the systems, it was observed that the interference slightly relates to notifications made during the sample period. It is believed that the reporting process is flawed or vaccination coverage rates are being unfaithfully tabulated. Conclusion: it is concluded that there is a correlation between vaccination coverage and measles disease reports, but this happens indirectly, since it requires not only the reported numbers but also the medium as reported.
