Figures & data
Table 1. Cox proportional hazards models for the relationship between maternal characteristics and the likelihood of completing three required doses of polio and DPT vaccination and completing the three doses plus a booster vaccination at any given age (n = 582). Data reported from Teresina, Piauí, Brazil
Figure 1. Cumulative proportion of children who had received the third dose of polio and diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) by age—comparing children of women with different social support scores. Lines represent social support scores in ten unit intervals from 20 to 70. Covariates were fixed at their means in case they were continuous and fixed with the most frequent category for categorical variables (only one child in household, ≥ 4 y of school, and enrolled in the Family Health Program). The vertical line indicates seven months, one month after the recommended date for the third dose of required polio and DPT vaccines in Brazil.
Table 2. Multivariable cox proportional hazards models for the relationship between maternal characteristics and likelihood of completing three required doses of polio and DPT and completing the three doses plus a booster vaccination at any given age (n = 582) . Data reported from Teresina, Piauí, Brazil
Figure 2. Cumulative proportion of children who had received the booster doses of polio and diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) by age—comparing children of women with different social support scores. Lines represent social support scores in ten-unit intervals from 20 to 70. Covariates were fixed at their means in case they were continuous and fixed with the most frequent category for categorical variables (only one child in household, ≥ 4 y of school, and enrolled in the Family Health Program). The vertical line indicates 16 mo, 1 mo after the recommended date for the booster dose of required polio and DPT vaccines in Brazil.
