Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the poliomyelitis vaccination coverage rate in the state of Minas Gerais and its spatial dynamics in the period from 2016 to 2021. Methods: Ecological study, with the collection of vaccination coverage rates in the municipalities of Minas Gerais in the period 2016- 2021, obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System of Brazil. The analysis was performed using geoprocessing and autocorrelation techniques using Moran's Global Index and the Local Spatial Association Index. Results: The spatial analysis showed the existence of specific spatial clusters in the distribution of vaccination coverage rates among the municipalities of Minas Gerais. Clusters of municipalities with high vaccination coverage rates (High-High) and clusters with low coverage rates (Low-Low) were identified, indicating areas with similar vaccination performances. Spatial autocorrelation, in some years, indicated that the vaccination coverage rates of neighboring municipalities influence the vaccination coverage rates. Conclusion: The spatial dynamics point to the influence of socioeconomic and cultural factors on poliomyelitis vaccination coverage in Minas Gerais.
