This study aimed to estimate vaccine coverage in Mexican adults aged 65 years and older and analyze factors related to vaccine uptake. The results showed that tetanus and diphtheria vaccines had the highest coverage, while pneumococcal vaccine had the lowest coverage. Overall vaccine coverage decreased over time. Having a National Health Card, morbidity, beneficiary of any health system institution, and use of preventive services increased the probability of vaccine uptake.
National vaccination programmes recommend the influenza vaccine for older adults, but this population group has the greatest morbidity and mortality from other preventable vaccine diseases. The aim of this article is to estimate the vaccine coverage in adults aged 65 years and older and to analyse the factors that could increase or decrease vaccination uptake probability for the three listed vaccines in the national vaccination programme (influenza, tetanus and diphtheria, and pneumococcus) and the full scheme in Mexico. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study with 2012, 2018, and 2021 rounds from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, in which we calculated the vaccine coverage estimations and performed multivariable logistic regression models to analyse the factors related to vaccine uptake. Tetanus and diphtheria vaccines had the greatest coverage estimation in all years (59-71%), whereas the pneumococcus vaccine had the lowest (32-53%). Full scheme vaccine coverage decreased from 37.80% to 24.77% in 2012 and 2021, respectively. The National Health Card property, morbidity, being a beneficiary of any health system institution, and use of preventive services increased the probability of vaccine uptake. In conclusion, vaccine coverage in older Mexican adults decreased over time, and the Mexican health system plays a strategic role in immunisation.
