SUMMARY:
Introduction: In the current public health landscape, vaccination delays have emerged as a
topic of growing concern. Multiple studies have been conducted with the aim of understanding
the fundamental factors that result in delays or even non-adherence to vaccination by certain
population segments. This research seeks to deepen this understanding and contribute to the
field of study on the subject. Objective: To analyze the proportion of vaccination delays in
children under five years of age and the associated factors. Method: An analytical cross
sectional study conducted from June to November 2021, carried out in three municipalities of
Minas Gerais, using 456 vaccination cards through a household-based vaccination survey. The
software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM® SPSS®) Statistics was used for data
tabulation and analysis. Descriptive analysis was conducted, covering absolute (n) and relative
(%) frequencies, as well as central tendency measures such as mean and standard deviation, to
describe the profile of the guardians and the children involved in the study. Results: Indicated
that 61% of these children received at least one vaccine dose with a delay of more than 30 days.
Notably, it was observed that the child age and the presence of more siblings in the family were
related to these delays. Conclusion: The study highlights a worrying proportion of vaccine
delays among children evaluated in three municipalities, with emphasis on the largest
municipality. Demographic factors, such as the child's age and the presence of siblings, were
significantly associated with vaccination delay. The predominant profile of those responsible
for children - mostly women, with an average age of 33.6 years and beneficiaries of government
programs - provides insight into target groups for future educational interventions. It is crucial
to develop focused strategies to improve adherence to the vaccination schedule, ensuring child
health and strengthening the effectiveness of vaccination coverage.
