Sumario:Objective: To analyze the current state of the vaccination coverage (VC) of children under three years old in the city of Fortaleza, CE, and its relation with the socioeconomic status of the families. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey with random sampling, information was obtained through questionnaires applied and Health Booklets conferred to the vaccination status, as well as ecological human development data. VC was estimated in children between the ages of 19 and 36 months. Results: It was observed that 45.2% of studied children presented a VC recommended by the Ministry of Health. In addition, socioeconomic factors which are determinants of vaccine coverage were identified and that areas not covered by community health agents have worse coverage. Conclusion: The present study reveals that it is necessary to strengthen actions that increase VC in the municipality.
