| Abstract | This study aimed at assessing the factors associated with vaccine uptake in a representative sample of community-dwelling Brazilian older adults, specifically focusing on differences in socioeconomic factors among the country regions. We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study, using a probabilistic household sample in 2013. Individuals aged 60 years or more answered a structured questionnaire informing on vaccination status and sociodemographic and behavioral covariates. Associations between variables were evaluated using prevalence ratios estimated by Poisson regression models. The overall vaccination coverage (72.6%) in older adults ranked lower than the goal of 80% stipulated by the Brazilian health authority; vaccine uptake differed significantly among the country regions. The prevalence of vaccination was lower in black individuals in Brazil than that in their white counterparts. The prevalence of vaccine uptake was significantly associated with covariates on current life style, use of health care, and socioeconomic determinants. Compared with individuals with 0-3 years of education, more schooled individuals had higher prevalence of vaccine uptake in the North, Northeast, and South regions of the country. This study showed that there is room for increasing vaccination coverage among the elderly in Brazil. The knowledge previously obtained on factors significantly associated with vaccine uptake has not prevented them to continue influencing this outcome. The socioeconomic inequality in vaccination in some Brazilian regions reinforces the need of targeting the intervention toward the most vulnerable groups. | pt_BR |
