BCG vaccination decline and pediatric tuberculosis rise in Brazil: spatial-temporal study
The study highlights the decline in BCG vaccination coverage below 90%, with the most significant drop in 2020, particularly in the Northeast. The findings underscore the need for high maintain vaccination coverage and robust public health policies to mitigate tuberculosis in children. Addressing these issues requires targeted public health interventions, especially in regions with higher tuberculosis burdens.
