Comparative estimates of crude coverage of the Mexican immunization program: Findings from a national survey.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study is to provide estimates for immunization coverage, considering single-dose and schemes (three or five vaccines), by comparing self-report method to immunization cards, while also assessing the timeliness of immunization in Mexico, with reference to Mexican Immunization Program guidelines. Data on immunization was obtained from the Mexican Immunization Survey conducted in 2017 that aimed to assess crude (card-based) coverage at the regional level. Timely immunization was defined with reference to National Immunization Program guidelines, and immunization coverage was defined as a three or five vaccine scheme, based on previous national reports of immunization coverage. Immunization coverage estimates account for sample weights from the complex survey design. We used
