SUMMARY:

Introduction: Immunization represents a major advance in health technology as it is a low-cost intervention and contributes to reducing child morbidity and mortality. In recent years, vaccination coverage among children under 1 year of age has been lower than the targets recommended by the National Immunization Program. Race or skin color is a marker of social inequalities and an important predictor of the health of a population. Objective: To analyze vaccination coverage up to 24 months of age according to race or skin color in children born in 2017-2018 in the city of Natal/RN. Methods: Quantitative, retrospective cohort research, whose data came from the vaccination coverage survey carried out in the city of Natal/RN, based on a multicentric survey, covering the 26 Brazilian capitals plus the Federal District, carried out by the Centro de Estudos Augusto Leolpoldo Ayrosa Galvão (CEALAG). The population was made up of live births in 2017 and 2018, residing in the urban area of Natal/RN. The sample size was defined based on calculations adopted by the World Health Organization for vaccination coverage surveys, using the parameters of 95% confidence, an expected vaccination coverage of 70% and a design effect of 1.4. The collection took place digitally based on the identification of the family and the child and the questionnaire was applied based on the information in the child's vaccination booklet. The data were analyzed using Poisson regression. Results: Children of black race or skin color (black and brown) are mostly from families with a low level of consumption (C-D) (80.44%) and children of mothers with a lower level of education (24.58%) . (19.97%) used private vaccination services and (15.69%) reported difficulty in taking the child to the vaccination center. Among black children, (95.09%) of those responsible reported confidence in the vaccines distributed by the government, (97.01%) reported a belief that vaccines are important for the child's health, and (94.50%) a belief that Vaccines are important for the health of the neighborhood. There was lower vaccination coverage among black children for timely doses in complete coverage without yellow fever (PR=0.21; 95%CI 0.04-0.90). Conclusion: The results showed lower vaccination coverage among black children when compared to white children.
