Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the vaccination coverage of measles in the regions of Brazil in the period 2013 to 2019, and to relate with its reemergence in the period from 2018 to 2019. Methods: This is an ecological, cross-sectional descriptive study, covering a time series analysis of the vaccine coverage for threefold and tetra viral in Brazil. Results: After data analysis, measles reemergence was observed in the period from 2017 to 2019, confirming more than 10000 cases from 2018 to 2019, being those concentrated in the age group under 5 years, followed by 20 to 29 years. This fact stems from the low vaccination coverage in children aged 1 to 4 years, and, according to the data, lower than the goal established by the Ministry of Health for all regions of Brazil, which favors the current outbreak profile of some states, such as Pará, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Conclusion: Low vaccine coverage directly influences the increase in cases of immunopreventable diseases, such inadequate coverage is due to the increasing disinformation of the population regarding vaccines and their benefits. It highlights the importance of the assessments of vaccine coverage and the strengthening of epidemiological surveillance systems.
