OBJECTIVE: describe rapid monitoring of vaccination coverage (RMC) following Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) (2008-2011) and Multivaccination (2012) vaccination campaigns. METHODS: descriptive study using National Immunization Program administrative data on vaccine coverage as well as RMC data, in addition to data on the grounds for non-vaccination (2011-2012). RESULT: MMR vaccine coverage exceeded 95% in the campaigns. RMC data on a single dose of MMR found 92% post-campaign coverage in 2008 and 96% in 2011. In 2011, 41,700 MMR doses were administered post-campaign, raising vaccination coverage to 99.5% in that year. In 2012 post-campaign coverage ranged between 97% (polio and hepatitis B) and 82% (second diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis booster). "Lack of time" was the main motive for non-vaccination (43.6% in 2011 and 32.7% in 2012). CONCLUSION: RMC is a useful toolfor evaluating vaccination coverage and reaching those not vaccinated, in addition to informing interventions.
