We present a machine-readable and open-access dataset on vaccination results among children under five years old in Brazil from 1996 to 2021. This dataset is interoperable with epidemiological data from the VAX*SIM project and reusable by the research community worldwide for other purposes, such as monitoring vaccination coverage and studying its determinants and impacts on child morbidity and mortality. The dataset gathers official and public information from the Brazilian National Immunisation Program, the Institute of Geography and Statistics, the Institute for Applied Economic Research, and the Ministry of Health. It includes 2,442,863 observations and 35 attributes aggregated by years, policy-relevant geographic units (country, macroregions, states, municipalities, and capitals), and age groups on 1,344,480,329 doses of 28 vaccines aimed to prevent 15 diseases, estimates of their target-population coverage, indicators of the vaccination coverage's homogeneity, dropout rates, and spatial, demographic, and socioeconomic data. We automated all data processing and curation in the free and open software R. The codes can be audited, replicated, and reused to produce alternative analyses.
我们提供了一个从 1996 年到 2021 年巴西五岁以下儿童疫苗接种结果的机器可读且开放获取的数据集。该数据集与 VAX*SIM 项目的流行病学数据互操作，并可供全球研究界用于其他目的，例如监测疫苗接种覆盖率以及研究其决定因素及其对儿童发病率和死亡率的影响。该数据集汇集了巴西国家免疫计划、地理和统计局、应用经济研究所和卫生部的官方和公共信息。它包括 2442863 个观测值和 35 个属性，按年份、与政策相关的地理单位（国家、大地区、州、市和首府）和年龄组汇总，涵盖了 28 种旨在预防 15 种疾病的疫苗的 1344480329 剂剂量，估计了其目标人群的覆盖率、疫苗接种覆盖率的均匀性指标、辍学率以及空间、人口和社会经济数据。我们在免费和开放源码软件 R 中自动化了所有数据处理和管理。这些代码可以被审核、复制和重复使用，以产生替代分析。
