Vaccination coverage estimation in Mexico in children under five years old: Trends and associated factors.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to estimate vaccination coverage and factors associated in completing schemes in children under 5 years old between 2000 and 2018.

The sample was 53,898 children under 5 years old, where 30% of missing vaccination information was imputed using chained equations. During this period two basic vaccination schemes (CBS) were identified. For each doses and vaccines of both schemes and completed CBS, the coverage was estimated using weighted logistic regression models. Additionally, the factors associated with incomplete schemes were reported. Between 2000 and 2018, the caretakers who did not show the vaccination card went from 13.8% to 45.6%. During this period, the estimated vaccinati
