GLEHN, Mateus de Paula von et al. Human papillomavirus vaccination coverage in Northeast Brazil, 2013-2021: a descriptive study. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, e2022790. Epub 27-Abr-2023. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s2237-96222023000200012.
Objective:
to describe human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in the Northeast region of Brazil, in the period from 2013 to 2021.
Methods:
this was a descriptive study conducted with data obtained from the National Immunization Program, which sets a goal of 80% coverage of HPV vaccination in girls aged between 9 and 14 years and boys aged between 11 and 14 years.
Results:
HPV vaccination coverage in girls was 73.9%, regarding the first dose, and 54.3% regarding the second dose, and for boys, the coverage of each dose was 49.7% and 32.6%, respectively; with the exception of the states of Ceará and Paraíba, which reached coverage above 80% regarding the first dose in girls, none of the states reached the goal for both doses.
Conclusions:
between 2013 and 2021, HPV vaccination coverage was below the target for both sexes, with the exception of the states of Ceará and Paraíba, which reached the goal for the first dose in the girls.
